Jump Drive not showing up in Windows Explorer
Closed
Hello,
My friend gave me a jump drive with very important information on it. He bent the metal tip a little, but the tip is not touching the chip. My computer is seeing the jump drive and recognizing it as a memory storage device. However, it is not showing up in windows explorer. I have located the device in devices and printers and upon right clicking on it it has browse folders option which has a grayed out "Removable Disk (F:)" Also I tried navigating to the jump drive through the command prompt and it says that the device is not ready. I would like to know how to get the information off the jump drive.
Please and thank you for assisting me in this matter.

I have tried the solution that bionik suggested and as it was a good idea it did not work. I have also plugged the jump drive into other computers and had the same problem.
