I have a USB stick that when plugged in to my computer, triggers the noise when a new device is inserted however, the USB itself is hidden and cannot be accessed.

It does not show up in 'My Computer' nor does it show up when I enter "E:" (because it is inserted in my E drive) in cmd. Is anybody able to help me make the USB visible and accessible?

Three possibilities:

  1. The drive has a bad or unknown format. Try formatting it. This will delete what's on it.
  2. The drive has a protection active, you need some kind of unlocking software to access it.
  3. The drive is broken. You might repair it, try chkdsk.

("because its inserted in my E drive" is not certain. What do you mean is your E drive? A specific USB port?)
