USB flash drive............... ?

When i plugged in my flash drive into the computer it won't show up or detect it. I know the problem's not my computer because i tried plugging in the printer's usb and it still worked. Is there a way to fix it or are my files gone for good?

    As a rule, I use a USB Flash about 1 year, the copy ALL files to DVD, then reformat, copy back to USB those files which I need.

    and I defrag it through-out the year.

    It sounds like your flash drive is dead. I hope you didn't have important files on it, because it is likely they aren't coming back.

    Your files are gone for good... sorry.
