  2. USB drive does not show files

    When I plugged my usb on my pc it was showing empty while, when I checked the properties of the usb it was showing full.

    When I again plugged the same usb on my friend's pc, there it was showing removable disk shortcut and inside the shortcut all my files were stored. Then again when I plugged the same usb on my pc it was showing same i.e, empty.

    I have many important files inside the drive, so please someone help me to recover my files without getting loss.

  3. USB shortcut

    Hi David,

    There are two types of shortcut virus: Flash Drive Shortcut virus and
    Folder Shortcut virus. These two could make your USB drive or file folders become shortcuts which can cause the USB inaccessible with shortcut formats.

    We'd like to know if there are missing files in your USB folders. If so, we suggest scanning your PC using antivirus program and see if it is infected by viruses.

    We'll keep an eye out for your response.

    USB when plugged in show a shortcut to the files on the usb

    Toshiba External USB drives not showing in Explorer or Disk Management Plug-in

    Thank you for the update.

    Looks like your system is unable to detect your external hard drive. Let's see if scanning for new hardware will fix the issue. Follow these steps:

    • Press the Windows key to launch the Start menu.
    • Type in Device Manager and press Enter.
    • Under Device Manager, select Action tab > Scan for hardware changes.
    • Wait for your system to install the generic driver for your device and follow the on-screen instructions.

    If the issue still persists, we suggest that you perform the following recommendations below:

    • Plug in your external USB drives to other USB device port of your system.
    • Use other USB cables for your external device to connect to your system.

    Keep us updated and we will be glad to assist you further.
