My computer does not recognize my flash drive at all

In the past I was able to plug my USB key and use it (make changes, and save the information), now when I insert it, nothing happens. The screen displays just the desktop.    The computer does not recognize it.  I tried another drive flash with information on this subject, once again, nothing happened.  I need help how to fix this problem.  Thank you.

Sounds like your AutoPlay settings need to be adjusted.

Something to try...

Insert the flash drive into a USB port and go... Start / my computer...

The flash player should be recognized by a drive letter...

Right-click on the drive letter and go... Properties / AutoPlay tab...
Left click on the button "Restore default settings" / apply / OK.

Now... Remove and re - insert the flash drive and see if there is an improvement.

And... the following Wizard may be worth a try:

  • My computer does not recognize my CD drive

    I have:

    went to hp support and did all the solutions available including:
    -check the devices for the player manager, looked for an updated driver.
    -check the BIOS to see if the disc is recognized and is not.
    Windows does not recognize my cd drive at all anywhere in my system, and BIOS is not either.
    I have no idea where the cable on my cd rom drive is at all so I feel not comfortable to verify if the drive is properly connected. I know that the reader was one for a long time until a few months ago and the cd player turns on and eject when I hit the button manually... so the power supply is plugged.
    Anyone have any ideas?

    Hello

    Step 1: Please do all the same underneath if you did some before as is often total
    a process that solves the problem.

    Try this - Panel - Device Manager - CD/DVD - double click on the device - driver tab.
    Click on update drivers (this will probably do nothing) - RIGHT click ON the drive - uninstall.
    RESTART this will refresh the default driver stack. Even if the reader does not appear to continue
    below.

    Then, work your way through these - don't forget the drive might be bad, could be a coward
    cable or slight corrosion on the contacts (usually for a laptop) and other issues.

    Another possibility is that the cables are loose. Remove ALL power, then make sure that the cables in both
    ends. Remove and replace, do not just tight. For laptops, you can often clean power and
    contacts data with a pencil eraser.

    Some DVD players do not use the Windows default drivers so check with the manufacturer of system and
    manufacturer of device to see if there is a firmware or drivers for your drive if necessary.

    ===============================

    Step 2: You have disc problems as the CD/DVD is actually 4 discs in 1 case (CD & DVD

    Did you follow the Troubleshooting Guide for the reader who still does not work? There are
    the entries in registry that the troubleshooter does not solve and those who "might" be the cause.

    Check with your Maker system and a device for the two possible firmware updates and

  • Want to reinstall XP but the computer does not recognize the cd drive and does not allow for any installation.

    Accidentally deleted some system files and now the computer won't allow me to install anything. Tried to install a new cd player to replace a corrupt, but it does not recognize drive. All the driver and OS install CD. Help.

    Fix missing files:

    Try to run the checker system (CFS) files.  Press start, select run, type: SFC/scannow

    SFC will ask your installation disc (which you must have if you are going to re - install), put it in the drive when requested.  Leave the SFC to replace all missing or corrupt files.

    To resolve the startup problem:

    Check your BIOS Setup and make sure the optical drive is enabled and listed before the hard drive in the boot order.  When you start, there will be a message, "type any key to boot from the CD-ROM."  Type any key (execpt shift, shift caps lock, NumLock, etc) will cause the CD to be initialized in the installation program.  (I use the space bar, it's an easy target.)

    In addition, it would be useful to know a few more things: 1) what edition and service pack level of Windows XP you are running?  (2) what is the model and manufacturer of the optical drive, please?

  • Recovery Manager does not recognize a flash drive

    Well, this is my second attempt to create recovery media, initially I thought the drive was defective and returned. I would go to 8.1 but would create recovery first. Recovery creator does not recognize the cross (SanDick Cruzer 16 GB) flash drive the forums and google around and have not really found a solution. Help please?

    Hello! Looks like you have a couple of choices for me. Use a PNY flash. Create an image of your operating system with a third-party App or get some DVD high quality. I agree that the drive is useless for the recovery of the system. I've seen your problem before on other forums and other products. I do not have the answer.

  • Computer does not recognize large hard drive.

    I installed a larger capacity hard drive in my Dell laptop (Vista) ranging from 100 GB to 500 GB. I've used EaseUs Todo v4 to clone the hard disk and then put the new 500 GB in the laptop. Everything works fine, but the system still says that my OS has only 100 GB instead of 500 GB. The system recognizes the new hd (he calls it by name). I rebooted and you press "Esc", "F1" and "F8" all now claim. I'm sure this is an easy fix (hopefully) but I am at a loss. Your help will be appreciated.

    You may need to Flash the BIOS.  There is a barrier to 127 GB.  Go to the Dell web site, enter your service tag and check the updates to the BIOS.

    I hope this helps.  Good luck.

  • Install Windows 8 does not recognize the system drive

    I built a new machine (chart below). Since this is a new machine and not an upgrade, I bought Win 8 Pro 64 bit OEM to do a clean install. The SSD is my system disk that Windows 8 will be installed. Four data drives are mirrored, two for the other two. Construction went perfectly. The BIOS recognizes all six disks: 1 SSD, 4 HDD, 1 DVD.

    Insert and boot the disk of Windows 8. Accept the EULA, enter the product key. Arriving at the page "Where do you want to install Windows?", only four hard disks are listed. The SSD (installation to go) is not found by Win 8. ??? I tried to change ports SATA, cables, power supply - no difference. For each new change of hardware, the BIOS still sees everything. This isn't a hardware problem.

    The question remains: why the installation of Windows 8 does not recognize the SSD drive. All five disks are on AHCI. I'm not in RAID.

    I spoke with crucial technical support of all (manufacturer of the SSD). They were also surprised that the drive does not appear in the list.

    Does anyone have a solution? I spent all the money on hardware, as well as the new version of Windows and I cannot install it.

    This is the real kick in the teeth: Microsoft won't support me. The OEM of Windows 8 version is the same as manufacturers, such as Dell or HP. Support told me I had the support of the manufacturer. HA! I am the manufacturer. Either that or upgrade from an earlier version of Windows. This means that any that a new construction machine will get ZERO assumption of Microsoft. All just great.

    Thank you in advance for any assistance.
