    Making a USB drive visible in Windows Explorer again.


    I burned an ISO to a USB drive.

    How do I make the USB drive usable now? I tried formatting it with Partition Manager as a FAT 32.

    But Windows 10 still can't recognize it in Windows Explorer. I hear the noise when I insert the drive, but it doesn't come up in Explorer.

    Windows does detect it if I go to Manage-->Computer-->Disk Management.

    But I want to be able to see it in Explorer, so I can use it in the future.

    I also tried formatting it as a NTFS.

    I tried following these steps, I still can't make it visible in Windows Explorer anymore.

    I tried using both Disk Partition, and Partition Manager.

  3. USB not visible on Windows 10

    A USB drive that was visible before the update to Windows 10 no longer shows up in the "My Computer" list of available drives. Other thumb drives do but this particular thumb drive was password protected. How do we get Windows 10 File Explorer to recognize
    the USB drive?

    Making a USB drive visible in Windows Explorer again.

    Installing windows off of a USB stick

    Step By Step from vista:
    From admin cmd prompt

    1. diskpart
    1a. list disk
    2. select disk 1 (replace 1 with your usb drive)
    3. clean
    4. create partition primary
    5. select partition 1 (replace 1 with your usb drive)
    6. active
    7. format fs=fat32
    8. assign
    9. exit

    Copy Windows Vista's DVD ROM content to the Flash Drive

    xcopy d:\*.* /s/e/f e:\ (d being your vista cd and e being your usb stick)

    And that's it, boot off your usb disk
