Hi hemasekhar,

I recommend you to test the pendrive on another PC. Is the situation the same? If so, open Disk Management and check if the drive is correctly recognized with a file format and a drive letter. If no letter is assigned, manually select one by right clicking the drive.
If the drive is not listed in Disk Management, check if it is recognized in Device Manager, under USB devices. If it is, uninstall it, restart the PC and plug the pendrive in.
If the drive is still not recognized and is not working on another PC, unfortunately, it may have been damaged. If you have important files stored on it, use a data recovery tool and try to save the most important data.
