Ever heard of punctuation? Anyway, reading from the paragraph
consisting of just 1 phrase, the only suggestion that might
work is to re-enumerate the USB pen drives. Next time whilst
in Disk Management, assign each one of them a drive letter.
Sometimes, using the pendrive in another computer could have
resulted in an altered signature which this computer no longer
recognizes.

I've seen this as well, and I've commented on it in another post. There's
actually two fixes to this (and assigning the drive letter isn't one of
them). the first is to use the Open button in an application like Excel to
popoup the mini folder window, which you can then right click the drive and
Open (not explore). The second option is that you can mount it to a NTFS
folder. I have my suspicions that there is a bug in Microsoft's DRM that is
preventing the drive from being displayed normally.
