USB drive not visible
Hi
A few years ago I was given a couple of USB drives used for activating some software for a company I do some work for. The instructions on them say "Insert the CD Key into a USB port before running the software"
The software is now no longer needed and rather than throw the USB drives away I thought I'd reformat them and use them for storage.
Upon inserting them, Windows shows the usual "Installing device drivers" message, which then disappears. The USB's do not show as available, and do not appear on the "safely remove" list. I even used a defrag program which shows up hard drive partitions not usually visible - still not there.
Am I wasting my time?
