the device isn't showing up on your system
Hey, I see the issue. Your USB drive isn't showing up because it might be corrupted or not properly recognized by your PC. Try formatting it again with a different partition scheme or using a different tool like DiskPart or GParted. Also, ensure the drive is connected securely and try connecting it to another computer to confirm it's detected. Let me know if you need more help!
Does it appear in the disk manager? It could display an "unallocated space" section. If yes, just set up a new simple volume there, assign a drive letter, and format it as NTFS—then it should function properly.
The unallocated area is problematic—it's completely unstructured and not usable. If most of it is empty except for about 30MB, that’s the issue. Right-click the unallocated section and select “Create New Simple Volume,” then proceed with the instructions.
