I was making a bootable Windows 7 flash drive with Rufus and I cancelled it in the middle of the operation. It gave me a warning telling me that I could leave the drive in an unusable state but I thought that just meant I'd have to reformat it again. When it didn't show up in Explorer I thought I had bricked it. Your vid helped me recover it, so thanks for the vid. Much appreciated. Liked and subbed.

Because mine was so far gone, none of these worked. However, what did work, was cracking open the flash drive (mine was a little SanDisk) plugging in the naked PCB that has the USB connector soldered to it, and lightly propping up the PCB with something small. (for me it was the back end of a tiny screwdriver) The little LED on the PCB lit up so I left it propped up in that exact position and was able to get the files transferred. Not saying this will work for you, but with a lot of patience and grace it was a "Hail Mary" for me.

If you've watched lots of these videos but still can't get you're USB Card Reader working I have one more suggestion. I went to my motherboard manufacturer's website (ASUS for me) and downloaded the lastest chipset drivers for my model. Bingo. I finally got it working again. It seems to be a Windows Update that caused the problem. Hopefully your manufacturer has an updated driver too.

What if it's not showing up in the device mgr under disk drives? There is no disc 1 only Disk 0 and CD-ROM 0. So it's not showing up in "computer" (only my C drive and my CD/DVD player are showing up), and it's not showing up in the device mgr at all, and it's not showing up in the Computer Management tool under "disk management". However, i was just reading a comment below by "mswinney751" he/she says: "I found that I had to go to the "Universal Serial Bus controllers" drop down, find the device there, and uninstall it. Then when I did the Scan for New Hardware it picked up the device." So, i went to the device mgr then looked under "Universal Serial Bus controllers". There are about 20 things there. When i click on them to open up their info, in the "Device Status" area, all of them say they are "working properly" -- EXCEPT for "USB Mass Storage Unit". It conspicuously has a little yellow yield sign with an "!" inside it by it's name and when i click on it the "Device Status area says: "Windows cannot load the device driver for this hardware because a previous instance of the device driver is still in memory. (Code 38)" Should i uninstall it and then hope it picks up the device as "mswinney751" did? Seems logical but I'm nervous about this and don't want to totally screw something up.

I had a problem with my motherboard. In the BIOS's boot options the drives showed 'Disabled' instead of my USB stick. Moving the selector down using the down-arrow key and then pressing “RETURN” when it reached 'Disabled' revealed a list of options that included that 'Disabled' word along with another entry for the drive itself. So I was able to select the drive and the PC was then able to use it or boot to it.

In my case the USB drive does not show up under MY PC, in Device Manager it shows as USB Device. Disabling it makes no change. In Disk Manager, it shows up as Disk 1 removable. When I try to change Drive Letter and Paths, it says that system can't find the file specified. Moving to different ports has the same results. It was working good until I formatted it. I'm using Win 10.
