ok, Right click My Computer, CLick on Manage.
On the left, click on Disk Management.
Do you see any disks without drive letters?

In my personal experience, I've had wear and tear on the flash chip cause this problem. I eventually recovered what I could from it and canned it. Formatting didn't help much. The Linux trick above is good advice.

Buy a new one, they're not expensive anymore.
