My USB stick has suddenly stopped working. It's a Busbi 4GB. My USB used to be G:/ but as soon as I plugged it in, I used to get a pop up box showing that it was plugged in.
Now, when I plug this in, it shows as I:/ and no pop up box appears. It shows in my computer as I:/ and when I click to open it says I:/ is not accessible the disk structure is corrupted and unreadable. I have tried to change the file name back to G:/ but nothing happened (this was under disk management).
On disk management, it shows Volume as I:/ Layout simple Type Basic File system RAW status Healthy (Active,Primary partition) Capacity 3.42GB
. I've tried right clicking properties then the tab tools and click error checking (this option will check the volume for errors). When I click "check now" it comes up with the disk check could not be performed because Windows cannot access the disk.
Sounds like a hardware error if it can't access the disk. Either rejoice because you remembered to make backups, or take a moment to understand that this is why we make backups. – Darth Android – 2012-10-31T22:07:23.623
Did you try deleting the partition, recreating it and formatting anew using Disk Management? If it doesn't work, probably time to get a new one. – Karan – 2012-10-31T22:08:30.570
