i keep getting this message  ive used a few guides on youtube but none are helping 

any1 esle know?

What type of USB device is it?

This happened to me when my usb ports broke in my computer, I'm assuming you have tried different ports?

The fact that it gives you this message, tells you that it actually does connect, but has not assigned anything yet. You could try assigning a device letter yourself?

 

You can succesfully succeed this by following these steps:

 

1.

diskpart 

2. 

automount enable

But there is another way (more complex):

 

Control panel > System and Security > Administrative Tools > Computer Management 

 

From there you will probably already see a list of your drives. The one without a letter, is the one you have to assign a letter. I'll tell you how to do that:

 

Right click on the unassigned drive letter > Change drive letter and paths... > Click Change... > Assign the letter that is showing up. You might get a warning, but aslong as you dont assign unwanted drive letters, you should be fine. It should all work now, goodluck! Let me know if it works out for you.

This is happening to me aswell for some weird reason. It started when I got Win10 but I decided to reset my pc cus I had too much junk on it and now Im on Win8 but problem still persists. Win10 broke my usb ports probably :'(

It definately is not broken. You cannot break hardware, with software. (Don't take this as final, ofcourse you can break hardware with software: Overclocking, etc. But not with things like this.) Can you follow up my steps in this topic to try and fix your problems? If it does not work, same goes for OP, please let me know, I'll help you guys out.
