• Flash drive not showing up
    12 replies, posted
Sooooo...a little while ago I had to format my Computer. During the process I decided to get rid of my two partitions and make it one whole drive again. While I was deleting/formatting partitions I had forgotten that my Flash Drive was plugged into the back of my tower. I formatted my Flash Drive on accident. Now when I plug it into the USB port on the back of my tower, the Computer will recognize that a USB device has been plugged in, but when I go into My Computer to take a look, it's not there. :ohdear: Assistance please?
does it show in disk management
Like I said, the computer acknowledges it. [editline]02:44AM[/editline] It shows up in device manager. The drivers are there, and I tried updating the drivers and it couldn't find any.
format it
How do I format if I can't access it?
Get Paragon 6.5 SE. There should be a 30 day trial, should allow you to format it.

Then your fucked.
No, i think the contacts are dirty on the drive. Thats what happened to me. Just throw some alcohol, the rubbing kind it it, or if you're paranoid, just a ear swab, a clean it. Should be fine after that.

I'm not worried about it. After all, I did get it for free. :smug:
If you got it for free, then it's likely broken.
