My sandisk usb 2.0 not shown in computer nor under disk management.....now how can i fix the issue n recover my data from pen drive

[@sumitagrawal9007]

the usb drive showing under unspecified device in control panel...with driver not available exclaimation

[@PulsarTECH]

​@@sumitagrawal9007 If your USB drive is showing as an unspecified device in the Control Panel, it indicates that the system is unable to recognize the USB drive correctly, and it may not be functioning correctly. Here are some steps you can try to troubleshoot and resolve the issue: - Unplug and Replug the USB Drive: Sometimes, the connection may be loose, causing the issue. Try unplugging the USB drive from the port and then re-plug it firmly into another USB port on your computer. - Restart the Computer: A simple restart of your computer can sometimes resolve issues related to unrecognized USB devices. - Check Device Manager: Open the Device Manager in Windows and look for any entries with a yellow exclamation mark or question mark. These indicate problems with drivers or hardware. Right-click on the USB device with the issue and choose "Uninstall device." Then, unplug the USB drive and restart your computer. After the restart, plug the USB drive back in, and Windows should attempt to reinstall the necessary drivers. - Try on Another Computer: To verify if the issue is with the USB drive or your computer, try plugging the USB drive into another computer. If it works on another computer, the problem may be related to your specific computer's settings or drivers. - Use Disk Management: Open Disk Management in Windows by right-clicking on "This PC" (or "My Computer" in older versions of Windows) and selecting "Manage." Then, under "Storage," click on "Disk Management." If the USB drive appears in Disk Management, it may need to be initialized or assigned a drive letter. Hope it will help!

I found a clothespin/rubber band is a very good way to hold the connection, also usb splitters can be useful to avoid any jiggling from a laptop that would interrupt the data transfer, just copy paste and hit retry every failure, my issue is with a cheap sandisk usb, the stupid slidey part causes them to get bent real easy

[@PulsarTECH]

I also have a SanDisk Slide USB 128GB that got bent, but surprisingly, it still works fine. Otherwise, the soldering job on these tiny PCB components would be a nightmare.

[@shinyrayquaza9]

@@PulsarTECH Just got all the data off it an hour ago, kept having to readjust it every so often, got Lucky with it running for 10s of minutes every once and a while it was at the point where it needed pressure to read or it would discon

Thank you!

You're welcome!

I have sandisk 32GB will it work on this ? I need data from it, how I can do that ? After the niddle touch can we recover data right away !

[@PulsarTECH]

Hi, no if you have any important data I would suggest that you get in touch with any trusted specialized computer repair shop near you. If you follow the tips in this video it might require a format that will erase everything. Hope this helps!

[@azizbeckovich_tech]

Hello, Can you help me please. I did same with Sandisk usb so it's recognizing as Anisha 64mb but I can't find any programms for my usb. Can you help me finding some programms to format it, please?

[@PulsarTECH]

What controller do you have? It should be written right on it.

[@ThexthSurvivor]

This is awesome if you don't need to recover files from th drive. But you mentioned that you need special tools to recover files from a non-working flash drive Do you have a video on that? Thanks.

[@PulsarTECH]

No, it has to be done in a specialized shop, they might need to connect an external reader clip tool to read from the flash memory or something, I've never done that.

[@ThexthSurvivor]

@@PulsarTECH I see, alright thanks!

i have a mosdart flash drive, so it plugs into the computer or my cellphone. When I plug it in, the light comes on & stays on, but does not show up on the computer or cellphone. & I can't pull it apart either.

how to the same usb that in 32 gb mine is little different

[@iszla2369]

I have a trouble with my hdd its not recognized by computer nor device management .. i cant see drivers in any software any help to fix that

[@PulsarTECH]

Hi, when did this happen? Was it working before on this computer? Can you hear it spinning? 1. Try to connect to a different SATA port, use a different SATA cable & power cable. 2. Was it used for Linux before? If so, then maybe it's formatted in Linux file system. 3. Try to use any third-party partition management software such as Acronis Disk Director or others. You can also create a bootable USB stick to manage disks before loading any OS. 4. Try to run your computer in a safe mode. 5. I would also try to run like a Windows installer to see if it can actually see it. Hope this will help. Let me know how it goes!

[@iszla2369]

@@PulsarTECH hello sir .. its actaully an external hdd .. i tried many sata non worked ..! It was working like a charm .. but not anymore .. when i connect the blue light doesnt flash just stuck .. no clicking sound . Its never falled on ground. Just when i connect i heared it like a fan .. i tried many partition apps .. but non worked let me try acronis .. i will see if it work .. i really need the info in it .. and i dont know whats the problem

[@PulsarTECH]

@@iszla2369 if you don't hear it spinning then it's probably dead. You can tell if the HDD is working cause it's vibrating and making noise, if it doesn't happen, it is more then just a software problem. If you data is very important there are ways to recover it but you need to take it to a specialized repair shop for that. Let me know how it goes!

[@mannabuharikambai6524]

Hello, pls I need a link to the document you shared on the video, I prefer to read

[@PulsarTECH]

I'm not sure which link to the document you need. The name of the website is in the video; there you can find all the details on a variety of flash drives depending on the manufacturer you have.

[@emmanuelkissi8958]

Can this method repair usb hubs?

[@PulsarTECH]

Since USB hubs don't have flash memory in them, I don't think this method would work. Is it just not being recognized either? Have you tried to connect it to another PC or laptop?

[@emmanuelkissi8958]

@@PulsarTECH it would flash once and then it shows it's not being recognised

HI my USB PENDRIVE I'm keepit in wallet it's broken how to get my data's plz help me I'm from India

[@PulsarTECH]

Hi, it depends what's the condition of it. If it's physically broken and you cannot fix it yourself, I would turn it in to some professional well-known computer repair shop.

[@rspsdomain2782]

cant even open it

[@PulsarTECH]

It could be a bit tricky, you need to apply a decent amount of force. I would start at the front where the USB port is. Also even if you break a plastic latch or two, you can always glue it back with a small amount of super glue. Hope this helps.

[@rspsdomain2782]

Also it was working suddenly it didnt no more tried programs even tried the officals wbsite it says there nothing like the problems that happend to u it detect that theres is something but its not showing on desk management nor any program

I can't afford a microscope so I am using a Samsung s24 ultra

[@PulsarTECH]

That's a creative solution! The Samsung S24 Ultra has a powerful camera that can capture high-resolution images, which can be very useful for detailed work. :)
