   I have a SanDisk that was working one min and then it not working the next....
   It's a 4gb cruzer that does not even light up when I plug it into any
   USB port.
   Is there any thing I can do to retrieve the data?
   
   Thanks

   If it doesn't light up, and/or Device Manager now describes it as a different name to previously, it is probably dead
   
   Try connecting it to a different PC or Mac, you may get lucky.

   Definitely try it elsewhere, on the off chance that it is your USB ports acting weird rather than a dead Cruzer.
