    What does it mean when windows can't find my drive?


    After a storm about a month ago my PC wouldn't get past the boot screen. I ended up figuring out how to download windows 10 on a USB but now when I went to download it is saying I don't have a drive available. How is this possible? Am I missing something?

    :)

    What does it mean when windows can't find my drive?

    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.
