Trouble with flash drive

A while ago, I bought a 1G flash drive.  It has always worked, and now, all of a sudden, every computer I try it on fails to recognize it.  It shows the icon for the flash drive, but when I click on it, it says "Please insert a disk into drive F."  I don't know if I accidentally held it too close to a magnet or something, but I'm wondering if anything else could be wrong.

Re: Trouble with flash drive

Try right clicking then formatting the drive. If that doesn't work then throw it away.

Could I get a walkthrough of that?  Because it doesn't seem to be working...it must have been too close to that magnet...

Just do a google search on how to format flash drives

Re: Trouble with flash drive

It wouldn't let me format it.  It still said "Please insert a device into drive F" or something like that.
