USB stick not recognized by any computer

Two days ago, that I restarted my computer for the updates to be installed. By mistake I left my USB drive (8 GB Sandisk) plugged during the entire process. Now, my computer, or any other computer will recognize. Sometimes the light and sometimes it turns off when I plug. I went to disk management, but it does not recognize. The only sign that it always works, it's recognized as USB human interface device. Any ideas on how to fix or is longer that it won't work? X.

The USB is damaged. Throw it out. If the data on this subject are crucial and you have not saved it elsewhere, you can send the USB drive to a professional data recovery company, but it will be quite expensive. If you want to explore this avenue, I recommend to drive savers . MS - MVP - Elephant Boy computers - don't panic!

    my USB cannot be recognized by any computer please help me. Thank you.

    Then, it probably doesn't and therefore more recoverable.  If several computers say it cannot be read, or it must be formatted before it can be used, then the problem is the flash player.  It does not, or the files that it contains are corrupt.  I hope that you have a backup of them stored somewhere.

  • USB stick not recognized even on other computers

    Hey-

    A few days ago I plugged in (USB) flash drive of 512 MB on my desktop Dell (Windows Vista), and that bubble "USB device not recognized" come at the bottom of my screen. I tried to put in the other USB ports, ports on different computers and the same message appeared. This device seems not more in Device Manager (do not even like a disc without a name). This worked perfectly well before flash player. Is there a formatting problem that must be corrected in my USB key, or what is the problem?

    Hello

    If the drive is not recognized at all then you cannot format it no more. Disks wear and/or
    go wrong. Most manufacturers of Thumbdrive have Support FAQ, which 'could' help.

  • USB stick not recognized by Device Manager

    I have a USB drive which worked in my Vista SP2 machine for 2 years until I took it.  I tried to run recently.  Even if the machine recognizes the connection and the removal of the disc with the bong audio, it does not appear in my computer, in the Manager device (like a USB Mass Storage Device - hidden or otherwise) or in the management of Computer Management(for doing fdisk/format functions) disk.   When I insert or remove the disc, the lists of USB in Device Manager do not seem to change.

    I tried to delete infcache.1, but in vain.

    The player with the same cables and the power supply, is recoqnized and works with other systems my Vista SP2 and SP3 of XP so I can exclude it as does not.

    Dig dig into that.  The pilots were to be reloaded, I noticed there is a USB 2.0 mass storage device listed while Vista searched through the database driver.  As soon as it is loaded, the name was changed to Cypress AT2LP (chip Cypress is the controller of housing) and the drive has disappeared.  Did a search for this and it seems that it is a problem running under Vista (drive works forever and then one day things change after an update to Vista).  Rename the driver (CYUSB.sys) and then reboot didn't help.

    I took the car to the most recent machine Vista and noted that the pilot has been there for a (USBSTOR Generic USB mass storage device. (SYS).  The drive works now.   Not sure where this storage of Cypress driver came (I certainly didn't not using it), but that was the problem.

    Hello-I have a desktop K430 Lenovo with a 1 to HDD, Win8 64 b, 12 GB of memory. I'm trying to create a recovery disc using a flash drive HP with 32 GB. I bought a 2 GB Tech Universe that should do the job, but the Recovery Media Creator suggest 16 GB.

    I installed USB Flash Drive 32 GB HP which is identified as HPv125w (F): the computer and selected for how to manage the unknown data or take any Action. I formatted the Flash Drive ENF to match my file system. I also chose computer /Devices removable and open as portable devices in the hope that the flash player would be recognized by the Recovery Media Creator, but it didn't happen.

    I run the following command to create a Recovery flash drive:

    Control Panel/All Control Panel Items/Recovery/create a recovery disk/copy the recovery partition from the pc on the recovery drive (I checked this assertion). I clicked NEXT to continue the process.  I was instructed to connect a USB and the reader must be able to contain at least 16 GB. He also said that everything on the disk is deleted. Identity of the flash player (HPv125w (F) does not appear on the page of recovery media and THEN is grayed out.
