Dear Trevor

Thank you for writing to us.

As a work around we suggest that you try connecting the USB to another PC to check if it appears there. Sometimes a PC may read a wrongly installed driver as correct but may malfunction while displaying the device correctly. If you can access the drive via another system, use it to format and reconnect to current PC and it should work fine. Also if you can find the drivers for it, you should try disk manager utility to check if the disk appears there.

Hope this will help.

Thanks and Regards

Lenovo 16 Tb USB3.1 I think. Was working perfectly until I plugged it into Panasonic Smart TV. I should have read more of the instructions which say 160 GB to 6 TB. Anyhow it failed to format. When put back in PC to format it again it can not be seen. Shows in Device manager tree as USB Mass Storage Device but doesn’t show in any other window so I can’t get it to format. Drivers are all up to date. Have uninstalled etc. Scanned for hardware changes. Not the end of the world as not an expensive item, but it’s always good to fix something after breaking it. Still Looking for ideas.

THANK YOU! Fixed my problem by changing the root hub settings. Would not recognize a slide scanner plugged into USB before the change.

In reply to Sarah Jones. Sarah Jones. Please check what exactly is the yellow exclamation sign is about, it may be showing an error when you hover over it and later you can try to troubleshoot the error. Usually it is a driver related error hence we recommend you try and update all your USB drivers to check if it resolves the issue. You can use the Advanced Driver Updater to do the same.

Can someone help me. When I connected my Sandisk flash drive to my computer. It showed a yellow exclamation mark and fails to show me the drive content. It is an empty drive and I have to use it. I have connected it on several USB ports, but the error seems to be the same.
