cannot connect cruzer blade flash disk
My new Sandisk Cruzer Blade 2GB Flash Drive is not being recognised in the USB port. Is their a problem with this device on the Macbook Air or do I have a defective drive?
MacBook Air, Mac OS X (10.7.1)
You say it's "new", so I presume empty as well.
Launch Disk Utility, in your Utilities folder. See if the drive shows there. If so, select and format the disk by performing an "Erase" of the drive. Format the drive either FAT32 or Mac Format, depending on whether you need PC usability. This may restore functionality to your drive.
If the drive doesn't show in Disk Utility, return the drive to where you bought it.
