3 out of 5 stars May Not Work With XP.......2003-03-19

The Cruzer works on one of my laptops running XP, and used to work on my other laptop when it ran Windows 98 (2nd Edition). But when I upgraded the second laptop to XP, the Cruzer stopped working with it. The computer simply does not recognize the presence of the device. The Sandisk Web site contains no useful information about this problem and is pretty inadequate in general. Too bad, because the product, when it works, is quite good and can be a convenient alternative to Zip disks.

5 out of 5 stars EXCELLENT.......2003-03-04

So good it might bring back "sneaker net".

3 out of 5 stars Win98 Detection Issues.......2003-02-25

Don't get me wrong, this jobbie detects/works great on win2k and winxp but when it comes to win98, there's a bit more work involved. The installation cd installs the drivers but you must manually find the file through "Display List of Drivers" when win98 fails to detect the proper drivers. Select "Hard Disk Controllers". Choose "Sandisk Cruzer Driver" It'll find a file called "pusbata.inf". Now you're set in win98.

I could not figure this out for a few days since most modern usb components install much more easily than this.

Because of this win98 annoyance, I downgrade this to a 3. Hopefully this helps someone and gives them a reason to boost the score...

4 out of 5 stars It's bigger than a USB drive........2003-02-24

I was surprised how large it was when it arrived-- about 3 1/4 by 1 3/4 by 3/4 inches. I was expecting a cute little USB drive, but this is more like a compact SD card reader. It is a pocketfull all by itself, so I won't be able to add it to any of my pockets. It doesn't say anything about USB 2.0.

5 out of 5 stars Forget those Zips.......2003-02-08

Buying a new laptop or desktop? Save the bucks for a zipdisk option, and carry your data from machine to machine in a Cruzer. I've transfered Gigs with nary a hitch. However, I keep the small USB cord connected permanently, and I don't work the plastic slide in the body of the Cruzer, which looks like it could wear and fail early, perhaps explaining some of the complaints registered here. Other than that, I just throw the Cruzer in my briefcase and roll, and it has performed as well as anyone could want.
