    I can plug in my flash drive and I get the chime so it recognizes that a USB device is plugged in but the device doesn't show up when I go into my computer. I tried going into cmd>diskpart>selecting disk>detail disk> clean but I was met with "Virtual disk service error: There is no media in the device".

    Hey… I think it could be a hardware problem. For this, you need to connect the USB drive and run the hardware troubleshooter to repair USB no media error and follow the below instruction:
    • First, press the Windows + X keys & click on Control panel
    • After this, change A view to small icons
    • Now, go to Troubleshooting > Hardware & Sound > Configure a device
    If there are any hardware related issues, then, this solution will fix it for you.

    Maybe he changed his username and now answered himself to his question?
    How else would he have found such an old question?
