Hi!!
This solution does not work for me.
No matter in what computer i insert it shows the message.
It does not even shows up on Linux & Mac OS.

Don’t work on me, my flash drive’s led don’t like but the computer is detecting it, it even appear on my computer but still not accessible, it says “please insert a drive into drive Z:”. how you someone help me.

This not work, i don’t see my flash disk drive in Computer Management, even i change the drive path. Does someone have other solution.

The drive just says ‘no media’ Have you got a fix? I can see the properties which says 0 space written, 0 space available. I can change the drive letter but it does not solve the problem.

Not working because the removable disk drive will not show in the Disk Managment window.

This didn’t work for me.Here’s how I fixed it, even though the only way was to format it.
Right click on “my computer”.Then manage.Then disk management.Select the drive, then format it.

The drive just says ‘no media’ Have you got a fix? I can see the properties which says 0 space written, 0 space available. I can change the drive letter but it does not solve the problem.

Hey, I was able to change the drive letter as suggested, however it did not make my files accessible.

Thanks

the above does not solve the problem, all the same thank you for trying to help.

The same probleam i have too, plase insert a drive in drive g

but i cant find my removable disk into disk management..where can i format it?

i have try 2nd method but i didn’t get solution,
please help me !!

None of the solutions worked for me either. Changing the drive name didn’t do any good. (This only works if you had that drive letter is mapped; or used by some other drive already. I tryed it anyway and sure enough it does not work.) When I tryed to reformat, it thinks it’s a CD or DVD ROM Drive… and won’t format it because computer thinks there is no disk (CD or DVD) in drive. Still looking for ways to fix it… if it’s even possible. Please post solution if anyone finds a way!

i have the same problem, i tried both the methods and its still not working

guy try to used the formating option of your flash disk
on the computer management,

My experience with fixing this, nothing worked until I tried changing the drive letter. This change took, but I still got an error. But I left the drive plugged in and after about half an hour, something must have timed out and presto, I got the popup asking me what I wanted to do with the drive (open files, play media, etc) that I always get on insertion.

Note, once you have the drive working, write something to it and do a proper disconnect, otherwise you may have to repeat this fix next time you plug it in.

Hi All, recently I’ve purchased HP 8GB v155w pendrive, from last one day I’m facing the same problem as mentioned by most of users.
I’ve workout something to diagnose this issue and feel due to some reason (either hardware or virus) it’s file system got currupted (something like MBR corrupt in HDD).
Whenever I inster my Flash Drive, XP show “USBest USB2FlashStorage USB Device” hardware found and installed successfully, but when my Flash Drive was working fine, it was showing “HP V155W USB Device” found. Same was showing if I’m going to Device manager and selecting Generic Device and checking the Properties. so it seems, it’s internal default file system got corrupted and Manufacturer can only do something as there no such utility I found to fix this issue.

yesterday, I went to HP Service center and shown them the usb flash driver, they have checked it and provided me a new Pack.

Well..seems like all those method doesnt work anymore.. maybe it is completely a hardware failure..
dont waste ur time to try all those method above..
just dump it and buy a new pendrive.. im just bought 8gb kingston pendrive and it was ended sumthg like this error..

im forced to buy a new one..:(

sir i have 2gb flash drive iball whenever i insert the disk it gets detected but is not accessible and give the message insert disk into G i try to format it but i cant i have also tried from the disk management but i didnt suceeded so please help me out it there is other software or not

in my last comment i want to ask that if there is external software of driver for this problem
