Keep Your Backyard Mosquito-Free With These Devices "You can troubleshoot an undetectable USB flash drive. While USB flash drives are a convenient and easy way to quickly transfer large quantities of data in a tiny space, the way that they store data can cause them to become easily corrupted. If your computer will not detect the USB flash device or will not allow you to interact with the data stored on the drive, you can use the built-in features of your computer's operating system to attempt to fix the problem before resorting to buying a new drive.

Place the drive back into the original USB port if it remains undetectable on another system. Step 2 Open the Start menu and click on ""My Computer"" to bring up a new window that lists all of the drives connected to your computer. Take note of the letters assigned to the drives connected to your computer. Click on the blue button at the top left end of the window labeled ""Map a Network Drive.""
