My connected USB stick makes a Windows sound like it is recognized but I am not able to see it in Explorer. When I open MiniTool Partition Wizard it shows my USB stick as a hard-disk with partitions. I am able to format and edit it. I don't have problems with my usb drivers and they don't need updates.

How do I solve this problem?

  • What happens when you remove the USB stick and insert it in another slot again?

Windows does not support multi-partition external disks.

Windows will at most show the first partition, and if this is a Linux partition that it doesn't understand, the results are unpredictable (but certainly not what you would expect).

  • You might have better luck reformatting the disk on Windows. FAT32 will be less troublesome than NTFS, on condition that your files are smaller than 4GB, otherwise use exFAT.
