Sorry this didn't help. Thanks for your feedback. Jack Hi there, My usb devices used to work fine. Disk drive There is no driver selected fro the device information set or element" I tried with my another Vista laptop, they work fine. I have checked usb controller under device manager, did not find anything strange. I tried un-install and re-install the usb controllors, which did not help either.
It seems that i can't re-install my os either since i have lots of files in my laptop. This really drive me crazy. Just relax! Here, we will elaborately analyze why this happens and how to fix it! So it can be detected in Disk Management but not accessible in My Computer. If a partition of the flash drive comes without a drive letter, then you cannot see it in Windows File Explorer. Of course, there are some other causes for this issue including bad sectors on the disk, virus infection, or insufficient USB power supply.
According to the above-listed causes of USB flash drive detected but not accessible, we have collected some corresponding solutions as below for your reference. Now, you can try them one by one until the issue is solved successfully. Before going for some technical solutions, you can try the easiest thing first.
For example, you ought to check the USB port on your current computer is fine or not. If it is normal and can be accessed, then there must be something wrong with the first port. If it does not even show up in the Disk Management, then you might need to replace it with a new USB. But the different situations require different methods. Below we will explain how to fix this problem in two cases.
When you can see the USB drive in File Explore but cannot open it for accessing data within the drive, try the following solutions. Method 1. Reassign a new drive letter to the USB. If the USB lacks a proper drive letter, or has the same drive letter as other drives to stuck into a conflict, then there is a possibility that you cannot open it in File Explorer. In this case, you can reassign a new drive letter to it in Disk Management by following the below instruction. Method 2. If the USB flash drive is corrupted or there are some bad sectors on it, then you could not access it, either.
If running such commands is never what you are good at, you can try AOMEI Partition Assistant Standard , which offers a quite easy way to check bad sectors on hard drives. I have HP laptop with vista home basic pre-installed.
Before now, the installed OS recognizes and installs usb devices automatically. Then Vista would search online for an installer for that USB. Worse case scenario. Everything you tried doesn't work Then you re-install the OS. But only when everything else fails.
