In the last post, we have introduced how to recover hidden files from USB pen drive. But at the same time, these devices can also bring you problems, for example, pen drive not showing files, pen drive not opening in my computer, pen drive not recognized, etc. USB pen drives, SD cards or external hard drives usually offer you an easy way to back up and transfer your data. Overview of pen drive or USB flash drive not showing in computer Pen Drive Not Showing in File Explorer & Disk Management here you can let USBDLM write a logfile, default is _USBDLM.1. here you can let USBDLM remove driveletters of cardreaders as long More informations in the help file USBDLM_ENG.CHM Create a new USBDLM.INI or rename it to USBDLM.INI Her's my usbdlm.ini file for your perusal. If you insert usb FLASH or externals after that, it always assigns the first drive leter to the first inserted drive, and next letter, etc.

There is a text file that you edit that allows you to tell usbdlm the STARTING drive letter, ie: j:

Inserting the same USB device will be the drive letter you selected, a different one will require you o do it again.Ī better fix I found is to install this handy utility:Īlways works!!! I've installed it on quite a few pc's and it works great. This will work ONLy for that particular drive. You can Right click on the square drive description in th lower right-hand pane and select CHANGE DRIVE LETTER. You'll see your drive with size shown, but no drive letter. YOu can MANUALLY go into ADMINISTRATIVE TOOLS>COMPUTER MANAGEMENT>DISK MANAGEMENT It's like previous folks have said, either a netwroked resource or other device is preventing the drive manager to asign a letter so that's why it doesn't appear.

I've fought this probem time and time again.
