USB - No media, Can't format, Can't Checkdisk

[luis9191]

Hi everyone...

I've surfed the web for solutions for a while now and nothing seems to work. I'll apreciate your advice.

Here's some screenshots and device info and what I've already tried:

These 2 sites have the most suggested "solutions" but nothing worked either:

Tnx in adv! And let me know if you need anything!

I probably have a solution to that. I fixed bunch of USB drives with no media, raw, undetected, etc. But my SSD just died and I can't help you until I get it fixed.

This is the website I used to fix many of my flash drives. I hope it helps: http://www.flashdrive-repair.com/2014/02/best-usb-flash-drive-repair-software-recovery-format.html

this may not apply to your situation, or it may - i've already posted it two time

i had the same issue with flash drives and external HDDs not showing up, but were showing or recognized in BIOS. These were flash drives that were working the day before and had files i needed.

for whatever reason, in BIOS i kept finding my Sata mode set to "Raid" - and even though i'd go back to AHCI it would be back at Raid when i'd check it on reboot.

Finally on the first page of my UEFI BIOS i turned "Inter Rapid Storage Technology" off and it stopped bios from switching to RAID and all my external drives are now recognized

btw, i'm running windows 7 64bit

if you don't have a UEFI BIOS, then simply in your bios select "default settings" and see if that doesn't bring back your usb connected devices

Hey Ralph... I haven't messed up with my BIOS yet... and this USB has problems with any PC I've tried... btw... maybe checking out the imgs I uploaded help a bit? (here... Screenshots)

Should I double check it? I'm on Win7 64bit too

if it's occurring with other computers, then it probably isn't your BIOS settings

So... is dumping it the only solution??? 🙁
