I bought a 32GB ADATA S102 Pro. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820211573

Plugging it in gives me the ring sound and a pop up saying the device was successfully installed. Problem is it isn't showing up anywhere.

I can't find it in Disk Management nor My Computer. It shows up in 'Devices and Printers' though as IS917.

Hey there, @Brogni!

I'd recommend going into Device Manager and check if the USB drive shows up there at least. If it doesn't but it's listed as an installed device. Try uninstalling & reinstalling it from there. If that doesn't help after you reboot the system and reinstall the drive, then I'd recommend checking how it will get recognized on another computer. You might also want to switch the USB port on yours and see if it will be detected from another one

Hope it helps. Let me know how it goes. :)
