    I can't access my USB drive.


    This is the first time it happened. Basically, I tried opening my drive through explorer and tried opening a project from another app from the drive, but I got a pop-up that says I need to 'format' the disk in the drive first. I have some projects in there i've been working on. I tried searching what happens if I format a drive and uh, it is just what ive heard but I lose all my data. But here is what happen in the past few days that might just relate to what just happen to my drive. One day, I started my pc when my pc decides to scan my D: drive. I was confused at first but i left it for it t

    Accessing a Hard Drive...

    ...from a dead laptop.

    My girlfriend's laptop recently s**t the bed, and she has a lot of photos she would like to retrieve from it. I used a USB to IDE cable to try, but it's a no go. Her drive has Windows XP Home on it, and my system has Win7 x64. The computer recognizes the drive, but it wants me to initialize it, which I think may format it.

    I don't know if it's formatted FAT32 or NTFS. Are there any suggestions on accessing the drive to pull all this data off of it?

    help. USB drive isn't assigned a drive letter.

    Any usb flash drive I plug into my computer isn't assigned a drive letter. The physical drive shows in the "safely remove hardware" but it doesnt show up in disk management. I have tried to populate the volume thru the safely remove hardware properties window and it does pop up in the list but it doesn't stay there. This isn't a format or assign a letter problem. It's more complicated then that. Maybe one of the services needed for usb drive management was disabled? Suggestions needed. btw external usb harddrives work fine.

    I can't access my USB drive.

    USB Drive Access Permission

    Let's try a different approach. Since the updating the driver does not work, see if changing the Security settings on one of the USB drive. Follow the steps below:

    • Right-click the USB's drive on File Explorer and select Properties.
    • Click the Security tab.
    • Select an Owner/User and click Edit.
    • Check all the options on the Allowed column, select OK and then Apply.

    Update us on the result.
