I've seen countless issues with sandisk USB drives and this is what I did to fix it. Please note, this involves moving files around and if your not careful you could make things horribly worse.
A few things to note
- The sandisk worked fine in any other OS except for Win7
- Sandisk wanted you to uninstall the 'U3' software which you can't do if you don't have another computer the device is recognized on.
- I had completely obliterated everything on the drive including all special partitions etc including any and all U3 files without using any kind of sandisk un-installer. [Please note I used a low level hardware format but it's not something any one needs to do for this to work]
4.Normally it would be detected as a storage controller but then would fail to install and listed itself as an unknown device. Previous suggestions from forums and Sandisk FAQ's failed to work.
1.The first thing I did was delete the usbstor.inf file in c:windowsinf (you may want to put a copy on your desktop just to be safe)
When I put the USB stick into a USB port it detected it again but this time it showed up as Cruzer in other devices in device manager. (Device manager can be accessed by right clicking on your 'computer' icon and selecting manage.)

Although I didn't try it, I suppose it's also possible to simply remove the original usbstore.inf file from the c:windowsinf directory and put it back later instead of copying the other one.
I hope this helps anyone who still has the issue. If this didn't work for you or you had another issue pop up. I'll try and keep an eye on this post.

How To Use A Sandisk Cruzer Glide
I have two Sandisk Extreme 64GB USB sticks. One I use for personal files, one I use for installing various bootable ISO files (SSD tools, Windows installs, etc.).
One of my USB drives is showing up in Windows 7 Disk Manager as a fixed, non-removable disk. The other drive does show as removable storage.
I bought these two drives within a week of each other, so I'm not sure if there was a firmware update at some point or not.

So then is there a way to choose which one I want, and if so, how can I get that tool to switch back and forth? Or is one of the drives defective/have old firmware?
