drew1977 Posted November 6, 2007 Share Posted November 6, 2007 I have a 16GB drive that has been sporadically not recognized by multiple PCs. 90% of the time when inserted, it comes up as "Removable Disk" in Windows XP SP2. When clicking on "Removable Disk", Windows says the drive is not formatted and asks if I would like to format the drive. I was lucky enough to get everything off the drive before now. I have tried formatting through Windows, through the DOS commands listed in the forum and this thing just does not want to work. I shouldn't have to spend hours trying to get something to work that has a 10 year warranty on it just to have to yet again send it back for another drive that will probably fail. I should not be wasting my time on making this work. This thing should just work. This is the second of these drives that has gone south on me. I will NEVER EVER purchase another Corsair drive. This is ridiculous. I could see one going bad, but two? Give me a break. Its really too bad because when it works, they are great. But I have to find something more reliable. This is truly disappointing and I don't know if there is a way Corsair can change my mind on that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted November 6, 2007 Corsair Employees Share Posted November 6, 2007 Please try the formatting option in this thread: http://www.houseofhelp.com/forums/showthread.php?t=62742 If you are having more than 1 drive fail, you may have some other issue causing the failure. Can you please give the specifications of the system or systems you primarily use this drive on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drew1977 Posted November 7, 2007 Author Share Posted November 7, 2007 Like I said in my original message, I have gone through all the formatting options on this site. In fact I read through other posts and tried all I could find before posting. I do not believe this is a hardware issue on my part. I have had a SanDisk Titanium drive for 2 years and used that one on the same exact systems with ZERO issues. This is the fault of the Corsair drives. I have used/tried them on a Dell GX240, Dell GX280, 2 Compaqs and my Sony Viao. It does the exact same thing on all the systems I have tried it on. Again, my Titanium does fine, so this is a faulty drive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
