i also faced the same problem 
"Got a transcend pen drive 4gb when connecting to usb port light blinks on the pen drive even shows in my computer after double clicking it says insert disk in dive j please help how can I recover my data from the pen drive is my pendrive damaged?"
 this is not a problem of pen drive, first u check that r u install any virtual drive software like Ultra ISO, nero virtual image drive etc........ if yes 
 
first uninstall that software -> shutdown insert the pendrive and on the system  then try to open..
after doing this process u may be access your pendrive... 
i also done this now i'm able to use my pendrive.......... all d best..............

Hi there bud.

I'll gladly help you, but do me a favor, and any of you who find this information useful too.

Click the little thumbs up next to my name to let the forum know my post is useful please!

Alright, firstly let me supply you with the AutoPlay Repair Wizard

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=C680A7B6-E8FA-45C4-A171-1B389CFACDAD&displaylang=en

I'd suggest you download and use the 'Autoplay Repair Wizard'
and then format the pen drive before assuming that it's time to consider a system format and fresh start.

So after you've repaired it's autoplay, (or set it to work as a plain old pendrive) you can copy off your files and format it clean.

Good luck!

This has worked for me on a number of computers with the problem of a USB flash drive not showing up or showing up and showing the "access denied" msg. Simple solution:

Remove all usb drives. Reboot computer. Log back in. Go to services and do the following:
1. Find the "Removable Storage" service.
2. Change it to manual. 
3. Stop the service.
4. Reboot and log back in. 
5. Plug your flash drive back in to a USB port.
You should now not only see it, but it will be accessible and useful for storage.

Hey even I had a problem with my pen drive, I could see the icon but every time I tried to open it, it said "Access is denied"... Thankfully the problem is fixed now.. what I did is copy pasted the data of pen drive in "my documents" (just right click on icon of pen drive,  click "copy" then "paste" it in "My documents") after this format your pen drive(right click, select "format" then check on "quick format")....
now u can use your pen drive again.... hope this helps

when we insert pendrive on usb port it always reply to unable to format?

Steve · Answer

It's really simple to solve. Every pendrive comes with a drive and software embedded in it. Just open My Computer,right click and select properties. Once you have done that, select hardware tab and scroll down to usb icon and click anyone of them that has a danger icon attached to a usb icon and it works by itself.
