Flash drive will not allow me to access, reformat, or label it. When I plugged it into my XP machine it tried to format it with windows media player and now on my Vista machine it won't allow me to do anything. Will I have to go back onto my XP machine and try to reformat it or is there any way to fix this problem through Vista?(which would be easier since my little brother fried the XP machine) Thank you. :)
