[SOLVED] SanDisk Ultra Thumb Drive Isn't Recoginzed

[sparker781]

I am wondering why it shows in Disk Management and Device Management but when I go into This PC it's not here as an actual drive.

I did contact SanDisk which was not worth contacting

it's not here as an actual drive.

so what did it show up as?
new or old drive?

in disk management does the drive have a letter?
if there is no partition on the drive what you describe will happen.

in Disk Management try to remove the partition on the drive and make a new one, format it and assign a drive letter. after the drive is lettered it will be accessible in explorer

You might just need to assign it a drive letter in Disk Management if it has a partition on it already.
