Try it in a different usb posrt..preferably in the back…Also try it in a different computer…
drive is toast
No…it is not toast….
What operating system are you using?
My lil bro in law had a similar problem when plugging in his usb flash drive, autoplay would not work. I had him do this registry edit and it fixed it for him. Now when he plugs it in, autoplay pops up.
Warning
Changes made to the Windows registry happen immediately, and no backup is automatically made. Do not edit the Windows registry unless you are confident about doing so.
Microsoft have issued the following warning with respect to the Registry Editor:
"Using Registry Editor incorrectly can cause serious, system-wide problems that may require you to re-install Windows to correct them. Microsoft cannot guarantee that any problems resulting from the use of Registry Editor can be solved. Use this tool at your own risk."
How to open the registry editor
At the taskbar, click Start|Run. Type Regedit and press Return. The registry editor opens.
How to back up the registry
Before you edit the registry, you should make a backup (i.e.backup the current settings).
1. Open the Registry editor.
2. On the 'Registry' drop-down menu, click 'Export Registry File'.
3. In the Export range panel, click 'All', then save your registry as Backup.
Registry fix for autoplay:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\policies\Explorer
Change key NoDriveTypeAutoRun hex value to 000000fb
log off and then on. And it works!
i cant registry fix how can i do it there is no explorer under policies
hhmmm…let me see if I can fine another solution for you.
I went ahead and search a bit more and found these suggestions…
There are many reasons that can cause the Vista AutoPlay (or AutoRun) not working and does not pop up. If you�re facing the AutoPlay not appearing issue, the guide below will point you to the possible cause and where to check for the error.
Ensure that Shell Hardware Detection service is running
Type �service.msc� in Start Search to run Services console. Locate Shell Hardware Detection, and ensure that the �Service Status� is Running, and �Startup Type� is Automatic. If not, start the service and change the Startup Type setting accordingly.
Ensure that CD-ROM AutoRun is not disabled in registry
For users facing AutoRun/AutoPlay doesn�t work when insert a disc into optical drive, run Registry Editor (regedit), and navigate to the following registry subkey:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\CDRom
Locate the AutoRun registry value in the right pane, and check that the value data for AutoRun is set as 1 (one), which is enabled. If it is 0 (zero), which mean disabled CD-ROM or DVD-ROM drive AutoRun process, re-enable the AutoRun by changing the value to 1.
Ensure that correct NoDriveTypeAutoRun and/or NoDriveAutoRun policy value is set
NoDriveTypeAutoRun registry key is used by Group Policy to configure whether to disable the Autoplay feature on all drives of the type specified. To check this setting, run Registry Editor (regedit), and navigate to the following registry key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer
or (note that above registry value, if exists, will always supersede the below user-specific key),
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer
Locate the NoDriveTypeAutoRun registry entry on the right pane. The registry key is in DWORD hexadecimal value, which each bit determines which type of drive to disable or enable AutoPlay feature. There are many possible value for NoDriveTypeAutoRun, some possible wrong value that disable AutoPlay are:
0�000000B5 (181) disable AutoRun on CD-ROM drives, plus default unknown drive, removable drive (meant for floppy or ZIP), network drive and reserved drive type.
0�000000FF (255) disable AutoRun/AutoPlay on all drive types.
The best bet is to set NoDriveTypeAutoRun to default value as set by Windows Vista, which is 0�00000091 (hexadecimal) or 145 (decimal). Previous Windows version such as XP uses 0�00000095 (hexadecimal) or 149 (decimal). To enable AutoPlay on all drive types, set NoDriveTypeAutoRun to 0 (zero) or 0�00000080 (128) which only disable AutoPlay on unknown reserved file type.
NoDriveAutoRun registry key, which stored at the same registry location, meanwhile determine whether a particular connected drive should run AutoPlay function or not. When AutoRun is enabled on the drive, media is automatically started when it is inserted in the drive.
By default, Windows Vista does not add any NoDriveAutoRun registry subkey. And you probably don�t want to block any drive from AutoPlay too. So remove and delete all NoDriveAutoRun key in the registry.
Uninstall conflict software
Some software application, especially disc imaging or image editing program such as Nero, PowerISO, MagicISO, and even some other programs such as Rhapsody and various VMWare virtualization products such as VMWare Server and VMWare Workstation.
If you�re facing the drive won�t Auto Play or Auto Run issue after installing certain software, try to uninstall the software to see if it fixes the problem. Better still if it�s possible to roll back the system using System Restore to earlier Restore Point when the software is not yet installed.
