Windows 10: Win10 corrupts USB drive

So I have a computer to which I am transferring data via thumb drive, And up till last week everything was working fine. But now it randomly throws and an I/O device error and says that the drive is unreadable. If I elect it and try again or restart the computer (since that is supposed to fix a lot of things) then it tells me that it needs to be formatted. If I look at it in disk management, it shows up as being formatted as RAW.

Somewhere I read that disabling fast start should help with this kind of thing, but I really need something that we’ll definitely work, because part of my job involves this data transfer.

USB Drive corruption

Having issue with WIN10 and 2.0 USB hard drives connected through BlacX dual dock station. Have reformatted the main problem drive which worked for a couple of days but still having random corruption problems and can not determine the pattern that is
causing the issue. Anyone else having these types of problems?

 

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.

 

Unable to use System restore from a windows 10 image on Windows 7 with error: "windows cannot find a system image-the usb drive is not visible"

Hi Otley,

Thanks for replying to us with the status of your issue.

As you mentioned, when you connect the USB flash drive in to the system then the System image backup is not present. It might occur if the System image files is not created properly or may be it got corrupted.

As an initial steps I suggest you to check for the memory space in the USB flash driver.

If the Memory is occupied in the USB flash drive the I suggest you to try running check disk on USB flash drive and check if it helps.

Follow the below steps to perform Check Disk.

• 
  Press Windows + X on your keyboard.
  
• 
  Select Command Prompt (Admin).
  
• 
  Type the below commands.
  
  Chkdsk [drive letter]: /f /r
