flash drive light on appears only in disk management
I have a 16GB flash drive, the red light is continuously on, it will not mount on PC, however, it is right there on Disk Management saying "no media", and also, it won't allow me to change the letter... Help please?

Hey Eddy. That's a bit odd. Does it have some sort of write protection switch or something (not that this should affect changing the letter in any way). If you don't have anything important on the flash drive - try formatting it via Disk Management if you can see it there. Also, try it on a different USB port and a different computer to see if it behaves the same way.
Here's a link with instructions on how to format it: http://wdc.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/3865/

Hope that helps.
