Hi Christine Turner,

 

I understand your problem and i'd be glad to help you. Just try this two steps:

 

1) Is the flash drive not recognized by your Operating System?

Then install software drivers that came with the flash drive. Or if no drivers were provided, check the manufacturers website. 

2)Is the flash drive not functioning even though displayed it is displayed on My Computer?

Then try reformatting the drive.
