I have a problem with my computers usb drive. i'm sure its the computer not the usb because the flash drive works fine on ecery other computer. Every time i insert the usb flash drive, the computer will not let me open the usb to view the files. It gives me no choice but to format the usb drive. The usb is already formatted and has plenty of files on it. Even so, when i go to format the usb as it forces me to, it only allows me to format it as if it was a 200mb usb, even tho it's 8GB storage. any usb i insert into my computer does the same thing, and 8GB, 16GB, 32GB, 64GB. All of them forces me to format them at 200mb only. and i cannot even view the files on them. Like i said, i know it's not a corrupt usb because they work fine on other computers.
My question is what can i do to fix this problem? urgent help needed. Thank you

Did you install any usb software for any other usb device such as an encryption or other application?

See Computer Management storage to see what it says.
