In Windows, go to Disk Management
(Right-click on My Computer
and then on Manage
) on any computer whilst the pen drive is plugged in and check if it shows up in there.
If not, go to the Device Manager
from the Control Panel
, right-click on the Disk Drives
node and select Scan for Hardware Changes
if the device isn't in the listing. After clicking on Scan for Hardware Changes
, if the USB device appears, it should also appear in Disk Management
. You should then be able to format the pen driver from Disk Management
.
