Okay so i just bought a USB Here it is http://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod [...] -_-Product
When i first inserted it into my Windows 7 computer it worked great but then it stopped working. When i insert it, it makes a noise and then it say's that it is connected but nothing pops up so i go to "my computer" and i still don't see the Flash drive connected. (This error first came up when i tried to connect it to a school mac computer and it couldn't read) or maybe PNY just sucks.

Well, PNY just sucks. But in all seriousness, you'll want to check that you don't have your folder options in 7 set to hide empty drives from the Computer folder. If you weren't aware already, this can be done by opening Computer and clicking on Organize. Select Folder and Search Options. Click the View tab and uncheck the box called "Hide empty drives in the Computer folder".

Plug the drive into another computer and see if it's detected there. If not, the drive is probably defective.
