When you get the error, it is suggested to unplug the USB drive and re-plug it to another machine to see if it is the problem of your flash drive. Then, what are the possible reasons? Why get “There is no media in the device” error? In addition, the “device” is various because you can get “There is no media in the device” in HP USB Flash, SanDisk SD card, Transcend StoreJet, DVD/CD, Pen Drive, Memory Card, even SSD/HDD under different situations. Sometimes, the device shows up in Disk Management with an empty box but not showing up in File Explorer. Get into similar troubles like that? You may get kindred error: There is no media in the specified device when you try to access files somewhere or create recovery disc with that device. What should I do to get rid of this issue?”
