IF YOU HAVE A SLIDING FLASH DRIVE AND IT WAS BENT SOMEHOW, READ THIS... IT WILL SAVE YOU FROM DISASTER!
the problem may be that the inner chip was either pushed back or pushed forward so that the computer could not recognize it
don't worry-- there's an easy fix.
1. open up the shell of the flash drive (it's ok... you probably won't mess anything important up)
2. look for the chip
3. play around with it. push it forward or backwards so that it lines up in its original position
4. if you're succesful, plug it into your computer and it will pop up OR select your flash drive from the computer menu
5. save your documents elsewhere, and i'd advise to throw out that old flash drive!
