    Fash drives don't last forever. Try it in another computer, and if you get the same message, get a new flash drive. They have come down in price, a ton, in the past year.

    Unplug/replug it several times, sometimes drives that are dodgy occasionally show up, but you should replace it ASAP.

    I have a Corsair Flash Voyager which gets the job done quite well, it was quite cheap.

    I never used that, but it's useful I suppose!

    I have a 2 GB PNY Attache. I have had it for about 1-1/2 years, and it works well. It was relatively inexpensive and now is dirt cheap.
