k fine now u try to detect tat usb on any other system (windows adn linux both ) ... if it doesnt detect there also then usb in no more ....

open up a command terminal and type the following *BEFORE* plugging your USB drive in it.


Then plug in your USB drive.

Do you get output?

You'll need to hit CTRL C to exit out of that command
