I recently received a 32gb USB 2.0 thumb drive from a coworker to transfer some files for him. I formatted the drive on another PC (not my main) and for some reason the format didn't finish and I cancelled then proceeded to remove the drive from the pc. I tried plugging the flash drive into my main (and also my mac) and I no longer can read the drive. When I plug the drive in.. I get an error stating the driver software cannot be installed correctly and when I look in the device manager I get an error code 10. I have 3 other usb thumb drives and all work correctly. I would figure the drive is trash but if it was why would windows search for drivers if the drive didn't work or read..? And also the drive light indicating activity flashes frequently.

Drive was used both on Win7 64-Bit
