Hi Adam,

Also try plugging the flash drive into another usb port and see if that resolves the issue. Is this USB flash drive new?

Hi Adamhumbug!

Try to follow the instructions on this page, it might be your pendrive is infected by any malicious file. See if this helps you

Plugging into a different port doesn't work, if the drive isn't working the format or partitions are corrupted and the computer stops at that. you need a program that reads past the format or partition. And I need to find a program that can do that, if anyone knows of one tell me. and switching the drive letter isn't working either.

try updating the usb drivers on your computer or get linux or Ubuntu to read it. because they can read just about anything on a portable device.
