Hello. The problem is quite same with many of the people. Such cases are heard very often. The problem would be your pen drive is not been formatted. You need to format your drive. Formatting your drive would help you out. There is a possibility that until your drive is not formatted it would not work fine. Just try to re format your drive and then try to check out.

It may result due to a virus downloaded into your drive. It is been fairly advised that you run a scan check for your drive using a good antivirus tool. A good antivirus tool will detect and remove the virus in order to eradicate the issue related with the unused disk partition. A virus basically uses the space on your drive and disallows user to access it.

You can do it or can use the unused disk partition by following the steps. Goto start. Select the control panel option and then go to Administrative tools. Select the Computer management tab and then select the storage option. You will find A disk management option. Select the option. You may find the drives on right hand side pane. Select your portable drive and delete the unused partition and create a new one. Good luck.
