My 8 GB USB flash drive doesn’t show on "My Computer" and nether under "Disk Management" when I plug it into my computer. It worked well several days ago. I wonder what causes the USB can’t be detected by the computer. Do I have any chance to get back the files that are stored inside the drive?
The reasons that why USB drive can’t be detected by PC are various that include virus attack, improperly plug out USB
drive and unexpected power off and so on. You can repair the USB drive with
some methods in order to make it work. But it is not sure which method is
suitable for your case since you are not clear the specific reason that causes the drive not
detected by computer. However, there is one thing that you can make sure is
that you should recover data from the drive before you find a way to fix the
USB drive.
