Sandisk replaced the device within a week with no problems. I told them exactly what happened, and they just shipped me a new one with an envelope to send the original back. I suppose they are so cheap to make that it was better than creating bad will.
I think that the USB ports on the machine had been disabled on purpose. They were on-board the mainboard, but had never been used in the 3-4 years the guy (actually my ex-husband) had had the machine. When I enabled them in the BIOS, other problems became apparent also. The device showed up on my machine as "unable to access" or "unable to format." Sandisk indicated to me that it wasn't an unusual problem at that time (a year or so ago).
