FD KINGSTON Data Traveler G4 32 GB USB 3.0 Not Detected by System

[Ma'ruf]

Hi Friends,

Short story ...

A few times ago, I had a problem about flashdrive Kingston Data Traveler G4 32 GB USB 3.0 that suddenly not detected by Windows system. I had tried testing it on many PCs/laptops but the result is same (undetected). Even though I haven't used it for a long time. Yeah maybe just about 2 months after buying. I hope very much maybe among of you who has a solution for my problem.

Thanks before and after.

When you have the flash drive plugged into the computer does the flash drive show up in device manager?

I had checked it via Disk Management and Device Manager, both didn't show.

Does the USB device show up in the BIOS, like in the boot priority list?

Just a question kinda off topic Ma'ruf what version of windows are you running? And how long have you had the flash drive?

hmm.... ± almost one year ago. Yeah... The FD appeared in device manager. But beyond prediction... suddenly.

I have just tried checking it in BIOS (on laptop and PC). BIOS can't read and detect it, very poor. I still have one more same FD USB 3.0 with different case, where the last one I mention can't be readed and accessed using USB 2.0 ports, so only use USB 3.0 ports. And the last one happened after I plugged into damaged USB 2.0.

Did you check the boot priority list as I asked you to? Refer to the article at the link below and let me know if it shows up there

Yes, I already really checked it in BIOS (Boot Priority List), nothing there. Swear..!!
I also often open and access "Boot Priority List" well on laptops or PCs. I really understand about this.

As long as i understand you correctly. Try using a partition software like aomei partition assistant or mini partition wizard tool to see if you can format the flash drive.

I have just checked with AOMEI PA v6.1 and MiniTool PW v10. They can't read FD's partition.
