thanks anyway!
As far as I recall, even with the Windows Insider previews that did not mount the Kobo as a drive, the USB subsystem mounted the device. If you opened Computer Management and then selected Disk Management, you would see the partition with no drive letter. Minitool's Partition Wizard would see the drive even if Windows did not give it a drive letter.

So a suggestion would be to check in Computer Management to see if the drive is mounted in there. If it does show up, then use Partition Wizard.

If you don't see the drive in Disk Management, then I would try using Nirsoft's USBDeview to see if the device is being seen by the USB subsystem. If it is not, I'd check the USB cable and ports.

Currently, I'm using a USB 2 port to connect my Kobo ereaders. USB 3 works and mounts the device but any time I copy a large amount of the data, my Kobos spontaneously dismount.
