We often run into the issue where our computers don't recognize removable disks when we plug in USB drives. So,what's going on and how can we fix it?

 

1) Bad connection with the USB port

 

         •Just unplug it, wait about ten seconds, and then plug it back in to make sure it's making good contact;

 

2) The USB function isn’t turned on.

 

         •Restart your computer and go into the BIOS settings. Look for the option related to USB functions and set it to "Enable";

 

3) The driver isn’t fully installed (if you’re using WIN98).

 

         •Go to "My Computer," click on "Properties," find "Universal Serial Bus," delete anything that says “USB MASS STORAGE,” then hit "Refresh" and follow the prompts to reinstall the driver;

 

4) File system issues

 

         •The file system on your USB flash drive might be messed up or not compatible. You can use Windows disk management tools to check for errors and fix them;

 

5) Security software blocking access

 

         •Sometimes security software sees your USB flash disk as a potential threat and blocks access. Check your security settings to make sure they aren’t restricting access to your USB;

 

6) Damaged USB sticks

 

         •If all else fails, reach out to the seller or manufacturer for repairs.
