Hey everyone! I have a PNY 16GB Flash Drive that I've had for a few years. There are a lot of important pictures and documents on it, and I am unable to access it.
When I plug it into 1 of my 4 USB ports in my Vaio laptop, it is not recognized under Computer as a storage device, but it does show up as "Unspecified" in Devices and Printers. The flash drive lights up when it is plugged in, which I assume means that the connection itself is alright (moving/bending the flash drive does not help).
I have tried this flash drive on multiple computers to no avail. I have used the troubleshoot wizard that came from right-clicking on the "Unspecified" device under Devices and Printers, and it always fails to successfully install the driver "USB Mass Storage Device." I have also gone into Device Manager and uninstalled the USB Drivers.
Is there anything else that I can do?
