Sounds like the problem is in the thumb drive.\n\nAre both the PC's running the same file system (FAT32 vs NTFS)?\n\n///

unless you've made changes to your system lately (i.e. reformatting, installed new software, etc.) it is probably a hardware failure and needs to be replaced.  You can see what device manger tells you about the status.  Right click on my computer, select manage, select, device manager, browse to your cd drive and see what it says about the device properties.

If your having problems with all USB devices on your\npc then goto www.driverguide.com and search by your \nmanufacturer for the USB drivers and replace the ones\nyou have with the new ones from there. If its just one device goto the device manufacturer website and download\nand install the driver for that device there.

sounds like your flash drive has died Dude ... try another one or something else in the USB ports .... if the "something else" works ... it's definately a dead flash drive

Windows XP has the drivers...make sure your device has AC power (if applicable). Restart your computer with the USB plugged in to a DIFFERENT USB SLOT!!!

try a different usb port .. or...\nYou could try the System Restore which takes you back to a time when your computer was working good. Go To: \nstart\nprograms\naccessories\nsystems tools\nsystem restore\nThis process is completely reversable. And does not remove your personal files. Just go back one checkpoint at a time until your puter is working good again.\nE

There is obviously a short circuit somewhere inside the laptop. If it is that new, send it in for repair.

This sounds like a plug got lose.  Unplug the power cord (and main battery if this is a laptop) then remove the plugs in the drive, and reinsert them.   Then apply power and see if the drive is restored.  \n\nThis is just a shot in the dark, but I have seen this situation on a rare basis. \n\nGood luck

Maybe the USB device is wonky. Or maybe you should try all the USB ports in your computer.

If it's not working on ANY computer, as you stated, then it's most likely damaged.  It can be repaired, but flash drives aren't really that expensive.  I suggest replacing it unless there is data on it that you absolutely must try to retrieve.

check the cables and power. those are the most likely culprits, especialy if the computer has been moved or jarred.  failing that go into bios and see if the computer recognizes the hard drive as there and can read it.  if you need files from it, attach it as a slave and see if you can access it....if not its probably a screwed pooch from a virus and needs to be replaced.

The USB device may have suffered a power surge while the device is connected. It can happen if you incorrectly wire front USB ports to the motherboard. Try it on a different machine (I'm guessing you have), and see if it is listed in the device manager.

I had that problem with a flash drive, I solved it by replacing the drivers for the USB host controllers, with generic ones that come with the OS.

leave it plugged in and run a full system scan with Fdisk (scandisk). you should be able to pick just that flash drive, but you should check all drives. check automatically fix errors then reboot.. You've probably got a currupt driver or missing dll.
