corsair flash drive will not registerClosed

Question

Hello, 

I have been using a corsair flash drive and today it will not register, says it needs to be formatted.  the latest news is that the computer tells me there is no disk inserted.  i believe it is corrupted.  i would hate to lose all of the work i have on it.  any suggestions?  they would be much appreciated..

thank you,

Dear Drew, 

You will definitely have to get it formatted for there is a possibility that there are corrupted files on it.

Thanks in advance.

Hi there,

first of all get in disk management and change the drive letter for this follow instructions below:

Then after having done so if still cannot format the device and having write protection error then use instructions on link below:

With these instructions you definitely will be successful to format and use your device.

Thanks
