USB Pen Drive Showing Empty Even Data Exists In It

Sometimes it happens that data is there on our USB pen drive but while accessing that drive we cant see our data. I`m not sure about the exact reason but I think we should enjoy below solution :P 

First of all check if the files are not in hidden mode. 

Click on "Start" -->Run --> Type cmd and press Enter. 

Here I assume your pendrive drive letter as G: 

Enter this command. 

attrib -h -r -s /s /d g:\*.* --> Press Enter 

You can copy the above command --> Right-click in the Command Prompt and 

paste it. 

Note : Replace the letter g with your pen drive letter. 

Now check your pen drive for the files. 

How To Make Bootable Usb Windows 7 From DvD

Geeks,

We will see a step-by-step demo to create bootable Pen Drive for Windows 7. Now a days many people face a problem when they have no DVD Drive or in the latest computer there are no DVD Drive. so then if you want to install Windows 7 so you can use the USB Pen-drive as your boot option.

What you need:
– Windows 7 DVD disc or ISO image
– USB Drive of 4gb +


Step 1. Plug in your USB drive and Win 7 DvD 
Assume DvD = D: and USB = E:

Step 2. Open Start menu and type cmd and Right click on cmd and click on Run as Administrator.

Step 3. Next type below commands in cmd prompt one by one :-

DISKPART

this loads the diskpart application we need to proceed

Then type

LIST DISK

lets assume we have connected a 8 GB USB drive  listed as DISK 2

so you have to type

SELECT DISK 2 (your USB Drive may have a different number, don’t follow exactly this text it depends on your usb drive)

You will get a successful response “Disk 2 is now the selected disk”

Type:

CLEAN

you will get a successful response ‘DiskPart succeeded in cleaning the disk”.

Type:

SELECT DISK 2 (or what number your USB drive has)

CREATE PARTITION PRIMARY

SELECT PARTITION 1

ACTIVE

FORMAT FS=NTFS

Formatting can take a little time depending on the size of the drive, our 32GB unit took about 10 minutes to format - you will see a percentage readout until it is finished.

Next type:

ASSIGN

EXIT (DISK PART will exit)

now Type :

D:

CD BOOT

then

BOOTSECT.EXE /NT60 E: (substitute the “E” if necessary with the letter of your now ready USB drive) – we are telling the system to create a boot sector file on the USB drive.

Now you can exit the command prompt and copy all the files on the Windows 7 DVD to the USB drive.

Once this step is finished you’ll be ready to boot from this drive, all you need to do is configure your motherboard bios setup to boot first from USB rather than hard drive or optical drive.
