Usb Drive Not Recognized Windows 10

[Autumn Pitz]

Ihave three Sandisk Cruzer Glide drives and I have the issue with all three drives on the Dell computer. They all work fine in my home built PC. The home built PC has Windows 7 Ultimate 64 and the Dell has Windows 7 Pro.

Sometimes, a simple computer restart can resolve temporary glitches or conflicts that may be preventing the Sandisk Cruzer drive from being recognized. Restart your Windows 7 computer and check if the drive is detected upon reboot.

I have an external USB drive connected to my Ubuntu 12.04.5 server, which has been formatted with exFAT filesystem (after I installed the required packages like fuse-exfat and exfat-util). My drive works perfectly without any issue.

But when I try to connect this drive to a Windows 10 host, it is not recognized properly by the system (Windows is not able to detect the filesystem). I have read somewhere that the same happens if the drive has been formatted from a Mac, and the "only" solution was to always format a drive from Windows, if you want to use it on other operating systems.

Am I the only one experimenting this? Is it because I made sure to create an "aligned" partition when I formatted it (no remember exactly what it was, but I did to get rid of a warning in Ubuntu when I mount it).

After some trial and errors, I've been able to format an exFAT partition on Ubuntu that is working on Windows 10. The trick is to add the msftdata flag on the partition (regardless if partition is aligned or not):

I have the same problem with Ubuntu 14.04 LTSSo I ended up with formatting 2TB HDD under Windows 10 so I did't bother trying different block sizes or other format parameters. I have read similar article about MacOS XFrom Apple forum: =0

I heard somewhere that if a External Hard Drive is formated exFat on a Mac, it wont work on Windows, unless it is Mac OS X 10.7 (Lion) or 10.8 (Mountain Lion). I have Snow Leopard (10.6.8) and I wanted to know if I format my External HD for exFat will it work on Windows? I currently have is formatted as Fat32 but there is a 4GB limit so I wanted to try exFat.

It's a known issue that, depending on how big the drive is, formatting exFAT in OS X uses too large of block (cluster) size that Windows doesn't like. Format the drive from within Windows with a block size no larger than 1024 and you should be able to use the drive on both platforms.

I also have a portable HP simple save drive and backed up all my documents on there. Now I can't access them since I upgraded my computer. Are you telling us that it is impossible to do that now? Other manufacturers upgrade drivers or develop software for download. This seems like really poor customer service to have to go find a windows 7 computer and transfer files to a different portable drive! Is this the solution you are suggesting?

I have a refurbished computer that comes with two DVD+RW drives. I've been trying to transfer old family VHS movies to DVD's, and when trying to finally burn the files to DVD, neither of the drives recognize the blank disks I insert. They both just eject the disks and tell me to "Please insert a blank disk". I've scored the internet for clues as to what may be causing this. I've edited the registry keys that I'm told to edit, still no luck (by following the steps here:

Anyways, the device manager recognizes both of these drives, and when I insert a disk to install a program or something it reads that disk, but when I try to burn a DVD it just keeps ejecting the blank disk. I was thinking maybe the drives are not enabled to burn in the BIOS, considering I had an SSD hard drive failure a last year, and had to get a new one, which was installed at Best Buy. I was wondering if maybe they didn't set the drives correctly, but I would think if that was the case then neither drive would work at all. Also, when editing the registry values that are found in the article I referenced, there are no "upper" or "lower" filters for me to delete in the first place. This is the first time I'm attempting to burn anything from these drives.

I had the same problem, after years of using the same drive in the same computer to burn many, many disks. At some point, the drive seemingly lost both its recordable drive designation and the Recording tab in it's Properties window. I many suggestions to fix that, with no joy. Finally I came across an odd possibility in a reply to this post ( -disable-cd-burning-windows) ... the person replying, who was also missing the "Recording" tab on the Properties for his optical drive, noticed that the "NoCDBurning" registry entry in HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer was showing as type REG_SZ - the original author of the post had recommended creating that entry as type DWORD ... when the reply guy changed his "NoCDBurning" entry to type DWORD his optical drive regained its recording status.

I've definitely tried step one, several times in fact, with no success. Haven't disabled any Antivirus software, so I'll try that (and I don't have an external DVD drive to try step 3, although I may end up getting one of those because they are super cheep these days). This morning I tried to put a DVD that I burnt yesterday on my older computer, and it did the same thing - spit out the disk and told me to insert a blank disk. Then I tried putting a program installation disk in the drive, and that WAS recoginzed....so it has to have something with the DVD-R. The DVD-R that was spit out WAS playable/burnable in my older system, that also runs Windows 10...so I'm narrowing the issue - the drive can read non-DVD-R disks, but can't read DVD-R disks. The DVD-R disks are good though, and the drive is good...so what could the issue be?

Now I'm starting to wonder that too. I mean this is a refurbished system, but newly refurbished as of 2 years ago. The drives actually have the word DVD+RW on them somewhere. So really, I have no clue how old these drives are, at least not at face value....The fact that the drives won't recognize the burnt DVD is weird though. I would think that at least if it was burnt on another computer, and then inserted into one of those drives, it should at least recognize it. Because the drives recognize other stuff (although I'm not sure what a program installation disc format is, because that's what I tested, and it did see that).

I have a similar issue and have tried just about every fix floating around on the web without any luck. I can burn CDs but no luck with DVDs at all. This is such a frustrating issue but whatever is causing it, I'm not holding my breath for a fix because honestly, how many people still burn DVDs in 2024?

I'm trying to establish a connection to my recently updated to Windows 11 PC, using a usb C to usb A connector from my Canon Eos R. It is failing to get a connection. I've used two separate usb leads with the same result. The camera has no problem appearing as a drive on a Windows 10 computer with the same leads, and its firmware version is up to date. This is really annoying, as it also makes it impossible to use the Canon utility software. Does anyone know a ready made solution, or whether there ever will be one?

Beyond that, here are some setup suggestions that might help:

* If it is not there already, make sure the camera is plugged into a USB on the back of your computer. (The front USB ports can be a little weaker sometimes.)

* Since you're having problems downloading, disconnect all other devices except the keyboard, mouse, and camera from the computer.

* Close any other programs you have open, and exit out of any image-related or printer-related programs in the system tray, found in the bottom right corner of your computer screen. If you don't see the program icons, look for a small triangle by the time display. Click that and you should see the icons. You should be able to close them by right clicking the icons and selecting the exit option.

If so, right click on the camera icon and select uninstall. When it finishes uninstalling, turn your camera off. Wait a few seconds then turn it on. A window should come up that says FOUND NEW HARDWARE DEVICE, keep clicking the NEXT button, until it finishes. Then see if you can connect to your camera once again.

If you see another camera, like a webcam, listed in the Device Manager, right click on it and select DISABLE. It is possible that you are getting interference from that device. When you are done with your tests, you can reactivate it by right clicking on it and selecting ENABLE.

No luck with any of these suggested tweaks. The only place where the camera shows up is in portable devices.. as an MTP USB device.. and as an eos digital device icon in printers and devices. It's barely there. And the troubleshooter can't help.

I think it's pretty obvious there is no Windows 11 driver for the Eos R yet. By comparison, I can see my old 6D as a separate drive, and open it like the others. I can get around all of this by putting the SD card in my computer's card reader. But I'm worried my canon xf300 will have the same issues, and I don't have a flash drive reader. But I do have an old Mac Pro running Catalina. So I'll see if Canon's XF utility software still reads the camcorder on that system. It should..

Nick2000 has covered many of the likely scenarios for an unrecognized USB device. If the Camera appears correctly in Device Manager, also look at Disk Management to see if windows has assigned a drive letter. If not, it will not display in Windows Explorer.

Thanks to all for the helpful suggestions. I gave up trying to get my new Windows 11 desktop to read the Eos R. But the latest Canon XF utility software reads my XF300 just fine, so I can download all my files without having to purchase a compatible flash drive adaptor. That's something of a relief, as the XF300 is now quite old, though still very useful.

Plugging the whole camera into your computer, means the card has an extra step to communicate with the camera, and the camera with the computer. Instead, simply turn off your camera, remove the card and plug it into a suitable card slot in the computer or get a USB card reader (lots available). The computer will recognize the card as a drive and you can then download your images.
