I want to mount arduino memory in computer as external drive can someone help me
I moved your topic to an appropriate forum category @ubaid12ur .
In the future, please take some time to pick the forum category that best suits the subject of your topic. There is an "About the _____ category" topic at the top of each category that explains its purpose.
This is an important part of responsible forum usage, as explained in the "How to get the best out of this forum" guide. The guide contains a lot of other useful information. Please read it.
Thanks in advance for your cooperation.

You did not specify an Arduino so the default assumption is UNO. You want to mount a few K of memory in a machine that has gigabytes of memory, that does not realy compute. It is not practical as you state it, how are you going to get the memory out of the arduino and not destroy it?
Please elaborate on what you are trying to do and maybe why?
As I understand, OP wants to mount arduino memory by USB connection like a flash drive.
But it is not practical too, because even in more complicated boards the memory size is way smaller than any cheapest flashdrive, availably in every supermarket
@ubaid12ur why don't you tell us what you are trying to do, not how you think you ought to do it.
It seems you have some strange misconceptions about computers that need to be corrected before you proceed.
This is not possible with most types of arduino. With Arduino Nano RP2040, if you program it in Python and you install certain firmware and make certain configurations, it is possible. Perhaps with a few other types of Arduino and Arduino compatible boards, it may also be possible, I'm not sure.
Tell the forum what type of Arduino you wish to do this with.

You have to write an Arduino program that makes the memory accessible to the PC. Which memory, flash, RAM or EEPROM?
You need an Arduino with a programmable USB interface that can emulate an external drive.
What do you want to do with that drive? Much memory (>1MB) is required if you want to format that drive. But what then is the advantage of an Arduino stick vs. a real memory stick?
As an external drive that you can power off (perhaps to remove) and still have the data later? An Uno has 1024 bytes of EEPROM if that's enough.
OTOH you could add an SD module (costs less than a shield) to the Arduino to make it an external drive. That would not be a beginner project but a beginner could waste loads of hours on it.
Hy bro relax sometime fun is sometimes important. Maybe someone find a real thing in these imaginary things
