when i insert my flash drive it says that (Removable Disk (F:)), when i open it, it says "Please insert a disk into drive F:" saying that it isn't inserted, but it detects it, it's like that it automatically ejects it.
HOW can i solve this?
i even try to format it but it still says "Please insert a disk into drive F:"
what is the cause of this?

That usually means the flash drive is bad. Try a different flash drive in the USB port and if it works OK your flash drive probably died.

USB plugs and sockets don't have infinite lifespans. those steel contacts are rather only the steel leads on a circuit board. After a large style of insertions and removals, the steel on the contacts will ultimately placed on out. they are able to additionally get grimy. one among your different respondents reported taking the flash stress aside, and that i agree. be careful. Taking it aside actual actual ability breaking it aside. Get all of it the way down to the bare little circuit board. as quickly as you will see that the contacts on the section that is going into the USB socket on your computing device, clean them up with a cotton swab and alcohol. Then, using fact the different guy reported, insert it interior the socket and gently wiggle it around. With success it will artwork this one final time. If it does artwork, reproduction each and every of the guidance OFF OF IT at present, and placed it on a clean flash stress. do no longer use the previous one lower back. (i've got have been given quite a few SanDisk flash drives. None has failed yet, yet all of them will ultimately.)

Your flash drive might be bad, or your USB port. Those flash drives are real easy to break, especially since they are small and people throw them around. Make sure that there is no dirt in it, and check for broken pieces. It sounds like you need a new flash drive.

This is a verry easy problem to solve! the port you are using is a 1.5 port. you usb is a 2.0.
use the port at the back of your computer! itr has a 100percent chance of working! this happens to everyone when thery buy a new usb or they use it first time on a computer. The computer often doesent recognise it unless you put it in the USB port at the back of your computer! this ALWAYS happens!!!! If you try it, i can GARANTEE it WILL WORK!!!!
Im sure of this...
Good luck!
