b. click on the plus sign before “Universal Serial Bus Controllers”
c. Find your devce in the list (sometime it will be shown as USB Mass Storage Device)
d. Right click and update the drivers by uninstalling and reinstalling the drivers.
3. But if the Pen Drive comes up faulty then just get it replaced.
