Hello, I'm having a problem with USB flash drives on my PC. When I stick it in the USB port, it makes that sound that tells you its connected, but it doesn't show up on My Computer, Device Manager, Disk Management or View Devices and Printer.
It works fine on my other PC which is also windows 7.
My PC can detect other things connect on the USB port like a mouse, keyboard but not flash drives or even HDD.
Any solutions?

Click start
then type/run regedit
go to this directory HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\Currentcontrolset\control\
if you can't find StorageDevicePolicies under control folder
then make some new one. Follow this steps:
step 1:
go to this directory HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\Currentcontrolset\control\
again and right click control folder
step 2:
select new, then click key and rename the new key #1 folder into
StorageDevicePolicies
step 3:
right click StorageDevicePolicies folder and select new DWORD(32-bit) Value
for 32-bit Operating System and select new DWORD(64-bit) Value
for 64-bit Operating System
step 4:
rename dword newer folder into WriteProtect, then double click WriteProtect
and change the value data into 0 with hexadecimal base, Then close regedit
step 5:
open my computer and refresh it 5 times without do anything to your usb, and
properly eject your flash drive
step 6:
plug in your usb again into your computer and format it using exfat instead of fat32
Now, you can use your flash drive again....
Good luck
