Situation 2. Pen drive is not showing in File Explorer and Disk Management

Things get worse if the pen drive neither shows in File Explorer nor in Disk Management, which indicates that your pen drive is not detected by the computer at all. This could result from simple connection issues, USB driver issues or physical damage or the USB drive. Thus, the fixes for this situation are as follows:

Method 1. Check USB connection

Don't be unwilling to try the easy one first. The minor issue may also result in annoying problems. Try to change the USB port you insert your pen drive into or the computer you connect your device to, and then see whether the problem "pen drive not detected" remains.

Method 2. Update/reinstall driver

When there is something wrong with your device drivers, it's possible your pen drive will not show up in Windows File Explorer or Disk Management. To exclude this cause, you can either update your device driver by following method 1 in situation 1 or reinstall your device driver:

Step 1. Connect your pen drive to your computer, right-click "This PC", and choose "Properties" > "Devices Manager".

Step 2. Click on "Disk drives", right-click on your USB drive that is not showing and choose "Uninstall device".

Step 3. In the prompt asking you to confirm the removal, click "OK".

Step 4. When the uninstalling process has done, restart your computer and reconnect the USB flash drive/external hard drive to the PC. After the computer restarts, the driver will be automatically installed.

I recently was given a small USB flash drive as an advertising gimmick. When I plug it in, only one drive appears: a CD drive with 42kb used (just an autorun.inf file which launches the manufacturer's website). I know U3 drives also appear as CD drives, but their uninstall utility only works for their own drives.

How can I make it appear as a USB drive instead? Conversely, if I wanted to do the same thing for myself, how would I make it appear as a CD drive?

I'm sure it can be done programmatically, or else the uninstall program wouldn't work.

Method 3. Send for manual repair

If your device is damaged or dead, it won't show up on your computer. Besides, you will not be able to recover data using a data recovery software tool since the device cannot be detected. In this case, you will need manual data recovery services in order to rescue your data. You may be interested in data recovery cost if you are considering manual repair.
