Hello,

Try this 1

Assign a different drive letter and check if you are able to open the pen drive.

Click on Start --> In search box, type devmgmt.msc and press Enter.

"Disk Management" window will be opened.

Then right-click on your pen drive --> Select "Change Drive Letter and

Path.." --> Click on "Change" and assign different drive letter.

Change the volume name by right-clicking on your pen drive and select

properties. Enter your volume name.

Good Luck
