None of the suggested "solutions" actually apply the "no media" error.
1) If the USB key itself is properly detected, but its internal storage is missing, switching to another USB port won't help.
2) You can't scan the drive for errors if there's no drive to scan in the first place.
3) If you can see the "no media" error, the USB device is enabled already, obviously.
4) You can't change the drive letter of a missing drive, obviously.
5) You can't check a filesystem on a missing drive, obviously.
Totally agree. When there is a physical problem none of these methods works. This video is useless. Actually, when the USB drive has physical problems (bad sector, controller issues) there are no public software solutions to fix or repair them somehow. IF you are lucky to save your data, in 90% of the cases that is the best you can achieve. You have less than 10% chance to save your USB drive.
1. The problem starts right at the Windows itself. When Windows have problems handling the problematic drive properly, it means its built-in internal fault handling solutions are already screwed and there is a high chance they will not work. So if this is the case, NONE of any method proposed to use windows built-in testing and repairing functions will work.
2. Many so-called "repairing software" are just a scam. They just want your money. They have nice look, and a pretty display, BUT they are actually not real software. I mean they are but all the programmer did is this nice display screen, but behind the curtain the software itself does nothing just tries to run some windows internal software like checkdisk. THE REAL applications are using third-party methods collecting information about the faulty drive and using their own methods to fix it. Recoverit unfortunately not belongs to the real ones.
3. If you wanna save your data, first you have to read a lot, second try different softwares to test the bad USB drive and learn which one gives you EXTRA info above you already know from windows error messages. Third: If you find one, that really gives you something different, something new info compared to the "shitty ones". USE THAT one, to repair your drive and get back your data. There are even some free ones too those are really works. (I cannot write names here for obvious reasons.)
Yep same boat here
It's a sales video.
@@MZU777 Sometimes, like in my case with a no media error, an OS like Linux is still able to access the drive. I'm still trying to figure out how to use Linux to make the drive accessible under Windows with Linux, though...
Thank you for saying it. This video is such a waste of time.
Solved: I threw my USB in the trash
😂😂
I am about to do but first to finishes watching this video
it's easy when you have a 2GB flash disk, I have a 128GB, it's kinda difficult
first time here but i have liked you. thanx for the good illustrations. please keep me infromed
Is this applicable on external HDD?
My usb movies had an error in playing so i restarted my computer then all was okay. Is it really okay or do i need to do some checking and what kind of checking do i need to do?
Though this couldn't solve my problem but the video is informative.
Hi there,
Could you please elaborate on your question? We're glad to help.
If it says no media,
1. chkdsk won't work (because windows can't access the disk)
2. the step two also won't work (same as above, because windows can't access the disk)
3. chkdsk won't scan for viruses or malware - total misinformation
this video is totally useless and a lead up to upselling recovery software
same problem with me. how did you solve it??
@@sardaar_sanveer_singh Did not solve it :( lost all my data on that disk.

I Exactly have the same circumstance with the same problem on my 64 GB USB drive. I tried everything, that's the method of
-Chkdsk on shell and cmd
-Properties under volume of disk management
-changing the drives letter
-formatting(when I do that on a PB hev computer, it says I should insert the drive😂nonsense🤷🏽♂️)
And most of the time, it replies with an error like 'it can't access the drive' and am like "What The Hell"😢
HELP ! My Sandisk cruzer is in exFat system type but its not showing on Android TV and Speaker devices. Can you help?
For me, it I manage it to work by going to device manager > universal serial bus controller > (Select the USB) > right click > update driver > browser my computer for drivers > let me pick from a list of drivers avaliable on my computer > (select the only one avalible) > click next. It updated my driver and I formated my USB.
Your amazing thanks❤
Thank you for the future information. I know it'll come in handy.
I read thru the comments and tried these things myself. nothing really works. it mostly depends on what is broken about your usb.
5:11 worked for me🙂
lol
it is the best solution

Hi, I recently bought 2 new 1tb USB sticks. On my desktop windows 10 I use to download movies , music etc. Iv carried out the fat32 file , which went OK. But when I copy any movies across to the USB stick and then try to play them on my tv it comes up with error message file not supported r something n won't play . I no the movie does work as I tested it on a 64gb USB stick. So when I try to move the file/movie back to the 64gb stick it comes up with an error message saying it's curupt . It did use to move the movie across ok but when went to play r check the data in the movie there would be nothing. Can anyone help me please
thank you
Mine isn't even showing a drive letter just "there are no partition on this disk to show"
It's not a USB though it's an old IDE hooked up to hard drive docking station USB. Is there a way for me to collect to files from the drive still?
if there is no partition, that means the drive has no code for software or storage knowledge. it might be dead.
sir, after recover video file successfully recovered but video is not play any solution
Thanks a lot for the tutorial
Everything what you spoke to about and talked about I tried everything. They don't work. It's still showing online media. I don't know how to fix the problem and I talk it's on there and I even have a program to recover and I cannot even show that
My USB stick was functional until i tried deleting a large 20GB folder on it which it struggled to complete, then i attempted to eject afterwards. Something failed, and now the drive doesn't even show up in 'This PC' nor can it be formatted/partitioned in Disk Management. This USB drive has only been used a few times, i can't imagine it's completely failed already.
None of these fixes have done anything for it.
1. Tried reconnecting on different ports and computers
2. Checking for system errors is useless when no media is reported and it's not even showing within This PC
3. Enabling/Disabling/Uninstalling and restarting didn't help
4. Changing the drive letter did absolutely nothing
5. CHKDSK can't check the disk if there's no media detected
6. AOMEI won't detect the drive at all, i assume no other apps can
Is there some software that can fix whatever is stopping the drive from being recognized by anything? I'd like to reformat it, but that's not an option in Windows. Is it just dead after 2-3 uses? That's hard to believe, there must be some other fix for it. Perhaps there's another driver that would allow it to function since the "GENERIC USB FLASH DISK USB Device" driver isn't doing much.
I have the exact same problem. I think my USB is dead space, but you can check if yours isn't. open the command prompt as he told in the video (make sure you use administrator). Typ: diskpart then press enter. then wait a few seconds for the program to boot (agree to administrator requirement notifications if they pop up). then type list disk press enter, and select the disk that doesn't work by typing select disk (X) (x is the number found in the list). after that type detail disk and press enter. if the disk ID is 00000000 and there are no volumes detected your stick is basically dead space. if it doesn't say that I suggest doing a little google exploring adventure for software that can retrieve data or maybe fix the stick.
my problem occurred when I tried to set a video on it. it took way longer than it should have. so I canceled it, the program crashed, so I closed it and *took the stick out*. then when I plugged it in it issued problems and I needed to format it. later I kinda hate myself for not doing that, however, I am not sure anymore if I did it after all. at some point I did something and after that the whole stick was dead. I searched online for answers and found someone with the exact problem and issued that the stick was overheating. then in the answers, I read the following: your stick has no medium and will never work. you might as well throw it away (or something like that). I hope I could somewhat help you with this.

I spent so much time searching and trying with no hope. I performed the test you proposed and it turned out my USB drive is dead, it's dead and nothing can bring it back. I'll reuse its casing, though. Thanks, man.
@@OmarAhmed-cm3mv yeah, I’ve searched like the whole day for answers and the comment above was something I found online randomly out of the blue.

What the problem of my usb flash drive i pullout without ejecting and then I plugged in is not showing up on my computer ??
Hi there,
Thank you for your question. To fix a USB drive not showing up on your computer, please try restarting your computer or plugging it into a different USB port. Check Disk Management for the drive and assign a drive letter if needed. Hope it could help you.
can you cover chipgenius method please
Recoverit is the most useless piece of software I have ever seen, not only it is extravagantly expensive, but it doesn't even do half of what ordinary free software does. It doesn't even detect the USB drive let alone being able to scan the damn thing, even windows detects the USB drive and allocates a letter to it, but unable to access it, the cheapest subscription for one year is no less than $70 they must be joking, I won't pay this amount in a million years, I would rather lose all the data than pay them for something tha doesn't even bloody work, talk about greed, so please stop promoting these scams,
about everything downloaded from the web with subscriptions is bloody hell expensive :) for example macro recorder and remouse. its a one-time purchase, but still not worth the money.
Recoverit is best on HDDs, not solid state. Well worth the money to get the memories back, ran a drive through it and recovered pictures i deleted two girlfriends and a wife ago or roughly about 17 years. Nothing like getting hit by a bus strolling down Memory lane.
I agree. When I was in trouble, I tried many software applications. This recoverIT was one of the worst.
I bought a USB today and I wanted to do sth. The one USB i plugged in, (and want to use) is supposed to be formated and than be made bootable, and a iso file written to it. Its a intenso ultraline with 128 GB storage. After that I wanted to replace the iso. Than it all went wrong. After a quick analyze, I was like...im screwed. It was plugged in, and it was switching between no media and online. for the chkdsk command it didnt do anything due to beeing raw. non partitioned. And its like switching fast and you cant do stuff like allocating space. While the USB is connected, it has a red light that indicated that is plugged in and it fliccers when something is written to it. I dont think I can give it back, and if I lie they can check the events. It didnt cost that much...like 20 Euro. But its my money (Im not alloved to work), and I dont want to waste money.
(Im like having the worst things ever. 1 year after I got my laptop,somehow wifi was corrupted or sth, than after a reset the win licence was corrupted, after another reset a service wassnt working and couldnt change that, and now im here)
Sounds like bad times :’) I’ve made another comment on another guy where you can Check what the status is I’ll put that after this:
I have the exact same problem. I think my USB is dead space, but you can check if yours isn't. open the command prompt as he told in the video (make sure you use administrator).

@@maximvanderhoeden2477 thanks for the info. I will look into it but its probably a lost cause like you said.
Like man people, I transfer videos from my pc onto a usb drive, which I then plug into my tv and watch. Recently, and I'm not sure if it's the usb drive or my pc, but when I try to watch a video now on my tv, the picture is 'jerky' and doesn't run smoothly, also, although the sound is perfect, it's completely out of synch with the images. I've tried more than one tv, so I know the problems not at that end. I've tried reformatting the drive, but that doesn't make any difference. Any suggestions please?
Hi there,
Thank you for your question. You can check the connection between the USB drive and the TV. Make sure the USB drive is inserted properly and the TV is set to the correct input source. Try copying the video files to a different USB drive and see if the playback issue persists. If the issue goes away, it could be that the original USB drive is faulty or has a slow transfer speed.
If none of the above solutions work, you might need to consider using a different method to watch your videos on your TV, such as streaming through a smart TV or using a media player that supports various file formats.
Hi, there. Can someone help?
I formatted my exFAT removable flashdrive (that originally has 68 GBs in it) into the NTSF. After that, the file manager of the pc can no longer show my plugged-in flashdrive. I was able to have the file explorer to show it up again, but this time around, my removable flashdrive is greyed out. I checked in cmd, and I saw that my removable flashdrive has a status of "No Media" with a size of 0 byte, and I was like... where did my 68 GB go??? Can someone help me????
Hi there, thank you for your question! To potentially recover your lost 68 GB of data, first, refrain from any further use of the flash drive to prevent data overwriting. Check Disk Management in Windows to see if it's recognized there, then attempt data recovery using software like Recoverit. You can also run the chkdsk command to fix file system errors. If these methods fail, consider formatting the drive again, but only as a last resort, as it will erase any remaining data. For critical data, professional data recovery services may be necessary.
I Exactly have the same circumstance with the same problem on my 64 GB USB drive. I tried everything, that's the method of
-Chkdsk on shell and cmd
-Properties under volume of disk management
-changing the drives letter
-formatting(when I do that on a PB hev computer, it says I should insert the drive😂nonsense🤷🏽♂️)
And most of the time, it replies with an error like 'it can't access the drive' and am like "What The Hell"😢
Unable to detect my USB drive period. So, not even able to be detected by the Wondershare Recoverit software either...
Hi there, thank you for your question! Then its most likely an issue with the drive itself being damaged I would recommend trying to make sure the USB drive is clean and nothing is interfering with the connection and try it on a different device if that doesn't work it must be an issue with the drive itself and I would recommend purchasing a new USB drive.

For Command Prompt: What do I do if all I get is "Cannot open volume for direct access."?
Hi there, thank you for your question! it indicates that the disk or volume you're trying to access is currently in use or has an ongoing process preventing direct access. To address this, close any programs or processes that might be accessing the disk, run Command Prompt as an administrator, or use the CHKDSK command with the /F parameter to attempt automatic error fixing. If the disk is still inaccessible, schedule CHKDSK to run on the next restart using the /F /R parameters.

Pro tip: ALWAYS (safely) unplug external SSDs when not in use. especially if the computer, it is connected to, is constantly running.

Hey! I have no clue if you'll see this but I'm going to ask anyway. So I got this usb to hdmi adapter that came with a disc to install drivers but I have no way of getting the drivers off of the disc since I don't have a disc reader or whatever it is called. Also I don't know the manufacturer because it is a cheap shit, also I don't know what chipset is inside. I have tried a ton of different drivers but no success. Can you help me out?
Well, if you still have this problem, I would recommend getting a disk driver, might be a bit expensive, but if you really want the driver, it’s your only hope then. You can also ask people in your neighborhood and other places if they have one. That’s all I can think of. Hope it might help (also I think it is a disk driver but I’m not sure).
I have this no media error on an SSD connected via USB (SSD rated for 5V @ 0.5A), and none of this fixes any of it, but! Linux is capable of accessing the disk no problem.

Even with your wonder soft there no option cuz no volume.
After typing in chkdsk and so on, Windows says 'Cannot open volume for direct access.'
Hi there, thank you for your question! This error means that CHKDSK cannot access the disk you want to check because it is being used by another process or program. Disable any third-party services that may lock the partition, such as antivirus, disk monitor, or backup tools. Uninstall any third-party software that may interfere with CHKDSK, such as drive encryption, disk management, or partitioning tools. Run CHKDSK at boot time, before Windows loads. You can do this by opening Command Prompt as an administrator and typing chkdsk /x /f /r followed by the drive letter you want to check. Then, restart your computer and let CHKDSK run during the startup process.
Didn't help. It shows in Disk Mgmt, but "no media". Tried on 2 separate PCs, internally & with external USB cable. It's a 3.5" WD HDD. I already returned one for another and same thing. Ready to give up for a refund and spend the extra 20 bucks for a small portable plug-in ready
If your drive shows up but showing no media inserted then Go to diskpart, select your flash drive and type detail disk, if you have Disk :id:00000000, status:no media inserted, Location path:UNAVAILABLE, this all adds up to your flash chip on the usb drive failed, nothings going to fix that. Dont bother watching this video as it does not cover the flash drive controller working but flash memory failed (you know, the actual thing you wanted!)- its a bin job for your drive im afraid.
