    usb flash disk not showing up in disk management

    it is a 2TB flash (thumb drive) it showed as 1.999 TBs after reformatting. it shows up in windows explorer but not in disk management, it indicates that there is no media on the disk insert a disk. After reformatting I was able to put some files on it
    before it went blank.

    Code:
    File Explorer doesn't see it.
