circuitpython drive not showing
I am an educator and I was upgrading all of the circuit playground expresses to circuitpython 6.3. I have one board that will not work correctly. When circuitpython tries to load, the computer just sees it as a usb drive and does not recognize circuitpython. I can load the bootloader "cpboot", I've tried MakeCode and that works fine also, it's just circuitpython. I have connected the device to multiple windows machines and my Linux box at home with the same results. I have loaded the most current bootloader on the device (3.13.0). Is there a way to resolve this?

I had the same issue. Mine started after I loaded the code from this tutorial https://learn.adafruit.com/perfect-pitch-machine.
Even after upgrading the bootloader, reloading CircuitPython, and loading the factory image a couple times CIRCUITPY would not show up.
Near the bottom of this page https://learn.adafruit.com/adafruit-cir ... leshooting I found the erase script for Circuit Playground express and that has worked.

The erase UF2 file worked. It's back to normal now. Thanks.
