I own a kingston DTR3.0 G2 and I plugged it in to throw on some music for my car, 5 minutes ago it was working fine but now it just shows as "USB Drive (E:)" and it's got the transparency of a hidden windows item, disk management does not work, I cannot access it or format it. Any ideas?

 

EDIT:

And yes I've tried plugging it in to different computers

If there is nothing important on it, download Rufus, write FreeDOS to it and then quick format from Windows

I spent $2500 on building my PC and all i do with it is play no games atm & watch anime at 1080p(finally) watch YT and write essays...  nothing, it just sits there collecting dust...

Builds:

The Toaster Project! Northern Bee!

 

The original LAN PC build log! (Old, dead and replaced by The Toaster Project & 5.0)

All default and start, takes a little bit of time, but generally fixes this problem. Then get the DOS immage off it with just a quick format
