You may lose data on a pen drive due to various circumstances, including unintentional deletion, pen drive formatting, corruption, or virus assault. That is because the USB device you connected to this computer failed, and Windows no longer recognizes it.

Why is the USB flash drive not recognized? Your computer will not be able to load your USB drive if a driver is missing, outdated, or corrupted. USB driver issues, drive letter conflicts, file system errors, and other factors may all contribute to your USB flash drive not appearing on your Windows PC.

To determine which problem has occurred and the present drive state, utilize Windows' Disk Management application. This operation can inspect the pen drive and provide additional information on the desired solution. Your USB disk should now be in one of the following states:

• The USB disk appears to be RAW.
• The drive appears to be an unallocated area.
• The drive is displayed without a drive letter.
• The USB drive does not appear in the Disk Management software.

A USB drive can become RAW due to file system issues, which means a computer cannot read it. In this case, you'll need to recover the files from the disk first, then convert RAW to NTFS or FAT32 format to utilize it again. EaseUS Data Recovery Wizard can recover data from an inaccessible device. It flawlessly recovers deleted files, formatted data, RAW partitions, and other data loss circumstances.

You can restore an older version of files on Windows in addition to restoring permanently destroyed files from USB:

• Select "Properties" from the context menu of the folder containing your deleted files on USB.
• Select the "Previous Versions" tab. According to the information provided, previous versions are obtained from File History or restore points.
• A list of previous revisions of the file will be shown.
• To retrieve USB files, select the file edition you want and click the "Restore" button.

USB flash drives and memory cards have limited storage capacity. If you want to save your data for as long as possible, you can buy an external hard drive and back it up frequently. Data recorded on USB flash devices can be kept for up to ten years.
