Why won’t my computer open my Kingston 8GB USB flash drive?

PriNce YaSh asks:

When I connect my USB and click on my “removable disk” it prompts me to insert a disk into the drive. Why doesn’t my computer automatically open the USB? I have 8GB of movies on it I’d like to retrieve!

For simpler method,visit your pendrive’s manufacturer site and download recovery software if available.Install it and and your pendrive will start to function properly.

If the above method doesn’t works then -

If you provide your pendrive manufacturer name then I can provide you exact link.

Have you tried Transcend’s online recovery software as mentioned by @ha14:disqus ?

do you have the same problem with other usb keys?

you can Easeus partition master home edition to format the usb key (this will erase all data)

maybe other OS like MAC or Linux can detect it so then you can format there and reformat on Windows?

Hello, are you sure your are clicking the right one?  I have an 8GB flasdrive that when connected, it shows two different drives.  When you click on one, it tells you to insert a disk…but if you click in the other, it shows your storage and what you have in it.  Try connecting your drive and go to computer/my computer and see if two separate drives show.

@facebook-100001071477952:disqus  : I searched for recovery software for a variety of drives but I found that older drives have drives for Windows 98 SE and have PDF guides for security version USB drives.

You can now only solve the problem by referring to FAQ if the method mentioned by me previously didn’t helped you out.

Kingston…was that branded ?? or is that one of those Chinese electronics that never works.. I had one 32 gb that always copied data but never i got those data back..
just check it in another computer if it works or not if it dont works then no hope..
but be sure to check manufacture site for details
