I removed your email to prevent SPAM and because we'd like to keep everything on the forum.

Have you tried accessing your USB Flash Drive on different computers?

Try this.

*  Go to Start --> All Programs --> Accessories --> Notepad
*  Without typing anything into Notepad, go to File --> Save as --> autorun.inf.
*  Save it to the desktop.
*  Now copy it from the desktop to the root of your USB flash drive.

Is there any message telling you to overwrite anything?

How is it showing up in Disk Management ? ?

I'd return it for a replacement.
