Hi! @Riokarthik, 

Thank you for visiting the HP Forums! A great place where you can find solutions for your issues, with help from the community!

I understand your pen drive is not functioning correctly.

Don't worry I'll try to help you out.

Did you make any changes to your pen drive?

Have you tried checking the pen drive with a different PC or different USB ports?

Is the pen drive getting detected on my computer?

Please try the steps recommended below.

Click on start button and type this 

devmgmt.msc and press ENTER 

Can you see your USB drive? 

Right click on the flash drive and select the file system-Format 

See if you can use your USB after this.

Click on the Start Button – select Control Panel – and then click on Administrative tools. Here, click on Computer Management. In the Computer Management window, expand Storage (click on the + sign next to it) and click on Disk Management. This will open up the Disk Management (local) snap-in window.

Now, on the lower half of the right-side of the same screen, you will see that your USB / Pen drive is listed as a removable drive. (In case you are not able to see it there, click on the + sign next to “Removable storage” and expand it.

You should typically see it listed as a removable disk and called Disk 1 or Disk 2. All you have to do is to right-click on it and select the “Change drive letter and paths” option and select a different drive letter for your pen drive. For example, if it is called Drive F, you can choose any other drive letter, let’s say, Drive G.

After you have done that, open My Computer again and you should be able to see your pen-drive there.

Let me know if this works!

Have a wonderful day ahead! 🙂
