Windows 10: Flash Drive status labeled as "No Media"

I've had a flash drive that I used quite often. That is, until it wouldn't show up in the file explorer anymore. Recently I decided to plug it back in to see if it is truely dead or not. It wouldn't show up again, so I went into disk management, and it said that it was there, but was labeled as "No Media". My final option to see if this was true was to use diskpart. In diskpart, it said the same thing. The status was "No Media". Is there any way to fix this? I would love to get my flash drive working again.

Need solution for automating transferring of files to flash drives


I am wary of jumping straight in at the deep end so I have a couple of questions.

1 How do you know which files to copy to which memory stick? Can you put a list for each one in a text file?
2 Are you free to give each memory stick a specific label so that it can be detected in order to trigger the specific list that you have written for that memory stick?

I do have a batch file procedure for identifying the drive letter currently being used for a given external drive label. So perhaps you could trigger a common batch file that
Step 1 - checks each drive in turn to read its label and then find its current drive letter
Step 2 - for each detected drive, look up the list given in the batch file to identify which [if any] text file to look in to find the files to copy to that memory stick.
Step 3 - copies the files listed in the relevant text file

EXTERNAL AND FLASH DRIVE WONT SHOW DRIVE NAMES ON WINDOWS 10

Hi,

By default, Windows will recognize an external hard drive or a flash drive as “Local Disk” if the storage device was not configured and has no label on it. To resolve your concern, we recommend that you may put a label on your storage devices using
the Disk Management Tool in Computer Management. To do this, follow the steps below:

• Right-click the Start button and select Computer
  Management.
• Under Storage, select Disk Management.
• Physical drive letters are shown including the partition, right-click on each drive and select
  Properties.
• Name your storage device or put a label on it.
• Click Apply.
• Use File Explorer to view your external devices or flash drive with a label on it.

Let us know if the solution above works for you.
