Rufus: Create bootable USB drives the easy way

rufus.ie

Write a Linux .ISO image. If you can see the drive letter of the USB card/drive in Win11, delete the files and write whatever you're trying to write? What are you trying to read/write anyway? Do you need it to run your game?

i cant get mem cards pen drives or usb hdd to work as no drive letter but other things work fine

Try deleting all the USB drive drivers, then plug one back in.

i have changed them to different names on the other pc they just dont show up in my computer on this one.

i can also format them but get no drive letter and when try to add one get the error msg.

yet a dvd player works fine wtf

Can't see anything - that's an awful photo, and you have a DSLR!

Removing drivers works on 7, some say it also works on 11.

Found this, may be worth a go...

for some reason the usb drive is in other devices

Is that after you removed those "unknown" drivers and restarted?

Try changing USB mode in BIOS? Then delete as before, restart.

tricky situation. It can come from a unsuitable driver for your motherboard. I would install a minimalist windows from scratch to anther HDD to prove that the USB windows drivers and the motherboard don't cause trouble.

 

[soundwave]

no as i can just remove them refresh and all gone if i remove the drive cant be a bios problem as other things work just not drives on there own.

 

[Woosh]

is it just this usb drive playing up? another usb drive would work?

it has worked fine for years a update must have screwed something up as it does not make any sense what so ever as i can format them its they have no drive letter so dont show up in my computer.

but a dvd player will or phone or tablet and kbd mouse and kvm switch in monitor work fine and just tried a old usb game controller and that works so idfk lol.

the onboard usb 2 does the same thing with no pcie card installed but then my usb c kbd did not work but another usb 2 kbd does.

usb pen drive no drive letter
usb hdd no drive letter
action cam no drive letter


i can see them all in disk manager and format them but no drive letter and not there in command prompt volume wise as nothing there set everything to what it should be power ect ect and nope.

now if i take out the mem card out the action cam and put it in the phone it works but in a mem card reader no drive letter but i can see the partition and is allocated just no drive letter.

but the dvd drive is d" and works fine

It's Windows 10? In that case you'll have to wait till Microsoft unborks whatever it borked by updating incompetently. Or keep trying to find a fix.

This is why I suggested using trying a different (older) USB mode in BIOS. Remove all USB drive drivers and unknown drivers first, reboot, toggle a different USB mode, boot etc.

yeah 10 and 15 year old mobo dont help imo trying 11 on this thing will be a nightmare

It's Win10 update upon Win10 update ad infinitum, which might have screwed it up? Can't see anywhere in the news of any similar borkage. Personally, I'd fresh install on a separate HD and then update. I have oodles of blank HDs kicking around myself, easy to do.
