I often to not eject the drive in a safe manner (because I use it on thin clients at my school and I don't know how). Did this result in lasting damage that makes it so my flash drive is no longer functional? edit: Do I need a new drive? I'm sincerely sorry for wasting TL's time. I'm just not sure what happened.  | ||

First try it in another computer, before you format it. But here... http://www.ehow.com/how_2006214_format-flash-drive.html | ||

I assume you're using windows (I'm a Mac user)? I think you can go into MyComputer, right click on your jump drive and click "format". Be aware though, it will delete all the information on your drive. I haven't used Windows in a while, so might take 5 seconds to Google formatting a flash drive on windows. Anywho, hope that helps. | ||

When you plug it in, Go to Start -> Control Panel -> System -> Click on the Hardware Tab -> Device Manager Now it should be under "Other Devices" or something similar, but do you see any yellow exclamation points? | ||

I know it doesn't see it... but it might be kinda seeing it. Your computer might recognize its there but for some reason or another the drivers have been messed up. Did you do what I asked? By looking in the device manager you will be able to see whether the computer sees it at all, and perhaps just can't access it. | ||

I'm sorry, I meant I did what you asked, and it wasn't there, at least as I could find it. | ||

Since the key works in other computers, I doubt its a problem with the key, so perhaps you should try manually reinstalling the drivers. Try going to the manufacturers website and downloading drivers from there. Although unless its critical to have this working, it might be easier to buy another than to troubleshoot since you can get one for less than 20 bucks these days. | ||
