| 1446883 | 2018-02-28 04:41:00 | Yep, time for a scotch now anyway. | Driftwood (5551) | ||
| 1446884 | 2018-02-28 07:59:00 | But have you actually tried to clean the disk using the admin command prompt with diskpart. Then partition and format it with disk management Instructions here (www.howtogeek.com) (How to Geek). Slightly different solution here (www.tomshardware.com) (Toms Hardware). Earlier I meant if the flash drive has it's own data security management and formatting/cleaning software. I read transcend flash drive (www.bhphotovideo.com) does, and it need be run to help repair it or set it up. |

I did look for it in cmd but it didn't show at all. diskpart sometimes works even if wins explorer cant access it 'clean' in diskpart will wipe it clean so you can then formay it. but it may just be faulty . Is it an Adata drive ? |

| 1446888 | 2018-02-28 20:57:00 | Hey you'll never guess. I just found some "Recuva File Recovery Software" on that site. Downloaded it, run it, & it's fixed the USB drive. So thanks to 1101 for asking me what type is was. |

| 1446889 | 2018-02-28 23:09:00 | Kind of what I was meaning in my first reply because some had mentioned in a forum, that their USB flash/drives had become visible in Explorer/My Computer once they installed/run the USB drive's own recovery/management software. Had a feeling that it would work for your drive, similar to a Transcend's USB user. Good it worked for you... | kahawai chaser (3545) | ||

I thought you were asking if windows had come preinstalled on the USB. |

| 1446891 | 2018-03-01 01:08:00 | All Good. Bit concerning because many are used to diskpart, and other recovery programs, and perhaps don't know or think of the USB's own software (propriety maybe) to utilize to repair. I now remember I have a Chinese 32 GB flash drive, with similar problems, but I threw away the instructions with the website name to download the software... But I recall other dos commands like attr -h - r etc that might display a "hidden" drive. Here (www.tomshardware.com) (Tom's Hardware) is where others used propriety USB software to fix. A window article I read says the MBR gets altered/corrupted but can get easily changed back with USB drive's own software. |
