I was wondering if anyone could help out with an issue I am having with two usb drives. One is only a few weeks old and both have been working until I tried downloading windows 10 from the microsoft website.
Both drives stopped during the windows download at about the same point I believe. In disk management, they show as unallocated part of the time, and part of the time they show as healthy but I still can't format them like I want to. On the one that I keep messing with the most to try to figure something out, when it says unallocated and I click on new volume, it tells me a device which does not exist was specified. When I try to open it from my devices list in the system tray, it says "D:\ is not accessible - A device which does not exist was specified". After messing with it and plugging it in a bunch of times, it opened two different times and it showed windows files that are on the drive, but as soon as I clicked on anything or highlighted and clicked delete or format, it just brought up the blue busy or loading circle for a few minutes then says the device doesn't exist ?
The same thing happens on both pc's. I have had issues in the past with unallocated drives, but this time I can't figure anything out with them. Any help is definitely appreciated. Thanks
