Sandisk cruzer 16 GB not working. HELP!?
I just bought this USB and it's not working. It's installed fine but when I try to add a file to it it says it's full but theres nothing in the USB and the properties show that there is 14.8 GBs free on it. Don't know whats wrong with it..
The file is 5 GBs big and I figured out it's just that file everything else works.

It IS because of the size of the file, my friend. There's actually nothing wrong with the Flash drive.
Flash drives are formatted to FAT32 specifications, which has a 4 GB file size limit.
You can get round this by formatting your Flash drive to NTFS specifications, but you won't be able to use your Flash drive to transfer your large file to computers with an older file system (FAT32) or to games consoles, or Apple Mac computers ... unless the Apple Mac has a third-party application installed that will allow the reading of NTFS format.
If you wish to use your Flash drive on other systems again you'll need to reformat it back to FAT32 specifications. Unfortunately, you'll most likely find that you'll not be able to do this on your computer without installing a third-party application. Luckily, there is a FREE one that you can download from the following website.

there's a distinction between working a report on the disk, and setting up some thing too the disk. if your attempting to place in a application onto the disk, you may run the installer, and decide the disk and the deploy region. whether, you cant run courses off of the disk. please clerify what your motive it.
