Hello, today I've got problem with my usb flash drive, where is my school things. The problem is that the USB is detectable (like it makes the sound when I put USB into laptop), but it will not show up in explorer, disk managment or device manager and I don't wanna lose these things, becuase than I will be dead.
 
Hello

Did the flash drive show up in ( explorer, disk management or device manager ) prior to this?
 
In addition to the already suggested/asked;

Have you tried the device on another computer.
 
No worries but no need to reply unless it is to update your thread with new information or ask a question.
 
+ I want to tell, the usb was washed in the laundry, but that was like 2-3 years ago

But has the device been working up until now.

What is the brand and model name or number of the computer that you have the USB device in.
 
+ This is what I got, when I plug the device

TRANSLATION:
(1) Unspecified
Image of the device
Model: Silicon-power
Category: Unknown
Status: Installing the device

So being washed is clearly not the issue.

Your notebook has USB 2.0 and 3.0 ports, make sure that the USB device is in one of the USB 2.0 ports on the right hand side of the notebook then do the following;

Upload an expanded screenshot of Disk Manager for us.

Access Disk Management via Run.


Press the Windows+R keys to open Run, type diskmgmt.msc in the empty box then press OK.

To capture and post a screenshot;

Click on the ALT key + PRT SCR key..its on the top row..right hand side..now click on start...all programs...accessories...paint....left click in the white area ...press CTRL + V...click on file...click on save...save it to your desktop...name it something related to the screen your capturing... BE SURE TO SAVE IT AS A .JPG ...otherwise it may be to big to upload... after typing in any response you have... click on Upload a File to add the screenshot.

Screenshot instructions are provided to assist those that may read this topic but are not yet aware of the “how to”.
 
Okay, I got new notification about the USB:

Translated version is the second image
