You could try using the following method to fix the issue:
Step 1: Connect your USB flash drive to your PC and then press Win key + E to open File Explorer.
Step 2: Right-click the drive and select the Format option.
Step 3: Expand the File system drop-down menu and then select the exFAToption.

If files on the faulty USB drive are important and you want to recover them, you could use Bitwar Data Recovery to do so:
Step 1: Download Bitwar Data Recovery tool from the official website.
Step 2: After downloading, launch the recovery tool and choose the USB that thinks it's a CD drive, followed by pressing Next.
Step 3: Now, select the scan mode. You can choose the Quick Scan mode, which is capable of recovering the most lost files. If this scan mode doesn't work, you could come back to this stage and then select Deep Scan. After selecting the scan mode, click on the Next button to proceed.
Step 4: Now, select the file types for the recovery and hit on the Next button.
Step 5: Lastly, preview all the selected data and click on Recover to begin data recovery.

The HP Mini notebook has no CD drive. How do you copy software from a CD onto a flash drive or memory stick?
Well, you could just buy a USB CD drive and then plug it in to your mini-notebook. However, there are other ways of doing what you want. If you have a computer that does have a CD drive and a USB port, what you want to do is very easy. Put the CD into the computer's CD drive. Copy and paste the files into Your Documents (or wherever else you store things on your computer. Just make sure you know where you saved the file). After you have copied and pasted all of the data onto your computer's hard drive, insert the USB drive/memory stick and copy and paste all of the data that you got from the CD onto the USB drive. With the files on the USB drive, you should then be able to plug the USB drive out of your computer and into your mini notebook.
