When USB recognized as CD drive, you will see the following similar window in File Explorer. Does anyone have any ideas as to what may be happening with this? Source: I have not yet tried formatting the drive as it contains the only copy of a presentation we need. There is data on the drive, but I am unable to access it. The drive was working perfectly fine last week. I have a flash drive which, whenever plugged in, shows up in my computer as a CD ROM drive and an empty drive. But, it does happen just as the following real-life case.

What if your USB flash drive is recognized as a CD drive when you connect it to your computer? This is an odd situation.
