For the PC that isn't working correctly, go to the manufacturer's website. In the support section, search for your model. Find the USB driver, and install it.
If that doesn't solve it, go to the start menu, right click on computer, and click properties. Open the device manager. Expand the universal serial bus controllers. Uninstall all of the USB root hubs, and restart the computer. Then plug in the flash drive and see if it recognizes it.

Some guy(link below) had some luck by unplugging his computer from the wall outlet. And then plugging it back in after 5 minutes. However, he should have just pushed the power button while it was unplugged, that would have fully killed it with out the wait.
