I can't open a flash drive on a new computer.?

I recently bought an HP Pavilion desk top. It works great. My Kingston Data Traveler flash drive isn't recognized by the computer. A message says "This computer doesn't recognize the hardware. Please insert a disk into drive "G". What? ScanDisk, PNY flash drives work. The Kingston opens on other computers. Is this a setting problem on my HP? How do I overcome the problem?

    Look Carefully To USB slot Maybe It's Not Matched Because You Might Have New Computer That Had USB3.0 Not USB2.0 (I Think The USB3.0 Is The Blue One Not White) So Try All USB Slots At Your PC

    Maybe You Will Match The Flash Drive To Same USB Slot - Flash Drive Two Kinds " 2.0 \ 3.0 "

    So The USB Slot At Computer Two Kinds " 2.0 \ 3.0 " Match It With Same Correct Slot

    Good Luck
