Today I plugged in my flash drive, but when I tried to open it, it said "Please insert a disk into (H"
I just wanted to reinstall my Windows 10 from flash, because it became very slow, and I can format my SSD from startup when installing, and that is better way.
Model: TOSHIBA TransMemory USB Device
I do believe it has died. If the controller in the USB key can't see the memory chips (or they don't work any more) Windows reports "insert disk".
You'll have to buy a new one I'm afraid.
I had watched a tutorial video before it and I did something wrong or something, but I retyped something and I got an error of it, I forgot which or where I saw that video but I also commented but I didn't got any answer.
I doubt you did anything wrong. Pendrives don't last a long time - especially if you write to them a lot.
Not necessarily a dead USB. Here's one way to reproduce the problem. From a Command Prompt (Admin) run Diskpart....
Because it now contains no partition information, File Explorer will respond to this USB with 'please insert a disk into USB Drive...'. To be able to work again, this usb needs a partition, - in Diskpart you can make one with...Code:Microsoft DiskPart version 10.0.16299.15 Copyright (C) Microsoft Corporation. On computer: TOSH-L750 DISKPART> LIST DISK Disk ### Status Size Free Dyn Gpt -------- ------------- ------- ------- --- --- Disk 0 Online 465 GB 0 B Disk 1 Online 14 GB 14 GB DISKPART> SELECT DISK 1 Disk 1 is now the selected disk. DISKPART> CLEAN DiskPart succeeded in cleaning the disk. DISKPART>
CREATE PARTITION PRIMARY
Diskpart or File Manager can then be used to format the new partition as appropriate.
