Flash drive not detected on my computer?

if problem persists it mean is a problem with you USB hardware get it repaired

no longer confident what variety of flash you're employing yet some flash drives do take exception to being bumped off once you've open records. the workstation freezing is only the computer attempting to get to the bottom of the placement and could day out eventually. you'd manage to get to the bottom of your detection situation by technique of suitable-clicking on MY pc, left-click on residences, bypass to the HARDWARE tab. Left-click on gadget manager, strengthen the DISK DRIVES decision (click on the +) at the same time as it expands, if any of the products below 'Disk Drives' has an exclamation element on it showing there's a topic you may suitable-click on it and delete it. get rid of your Flash, reboot your workstation and attempt placing your flash back. i wish this solves your situation.

Is it a sony vaio by any chance? My GFs does the same thing, it comes up as an unrecognised device. But all other computers recognise it. strange

try taking it out and putting it back in, try it a few times. My USB card reader does the same thing sometimes

are you looking in 'My Computer'? make sure it is in properly. try restarting your computer also
