Asked By TechExplorer77 On

I was trying to create a bootable USB drive using Rufus when suddenly I got an error saying the process failed. Now, I can't find my USB drive anywhere in File Explorer. I checked with the command prompt, and it shows that the disk doesn't exist anymore. When I run "list disk," it shows the drive size as 0 bytes, which is alarming. The disk information displayed is as follows: "NAND USB2DISK USB Device, Disk ID: 00000000, Type: USB, Status: No Media, Path: 0, Target: 0, LUN ID: 0, Location Path: UNAVAILABLE, Current Read-only State: No, Read-only: No, Boot Disk: No, Pagefile Disk: No, Hibernation File Disk: No, Crashdump Disk: No, Clustered Disk: No." What could have caused this? Thanks for any insights!

It sounds like you might have just had bad luck with a faulty USB drive. Sometimes they just give out, and it can happen during the writing process. Sorry to hear that! You might need to get a new one.

It's unlikely that Rufus actually caused the issue; it seems like the drive failed during the process. These things happen. I’d recommend replacing the drive if you can.
