USB/Flash Drive emergency, PLEASE HELP!?

Firstly, this is the EXACT model of my usb.

http://img.misco.eu/Resources/images/Modules/Infor...

Whenever i plug into my computer, it blinks for a moment and the red light stays on and the pc gives me the menu to ''open folder to view files'' as it should for ANY computer. today, i plug in my usb as normal and it blinks ONCE.......and absolutely nothing happens. no menu comes up, i go into my computer and it isn't there, it doesn't register AT ALL. It doesn't even come up in ''Disc Management'' in the ''Computer Management'' section and it isn't there. It is as if i never plugged it in in the first place, it is as if it doesn't EXIST. Please can ANYBODY help me? If you tell me how to solve this, like getting it to work again or at least browsing it so i can save my files, I would never be able to express my gratitude. and my files are EXTREMELY IMPORTANT. The pc i had the backup on has a BSOD as well. PLEASE SOMEBODY HELP ME?!?

    Get a different thumb drive and try that. If the same thing happens you have a connection issue or a driver issue.

    If a different thumb drive works then try this thumb drive in a different computer. See if it works there or not. If it does, then you have a connection or driver issue with your computer. If it still doesn't work, then get your money back for the thing or dispose of it in a manner that any files that are on it will never be able to be compromised.

    I hope this helps. Good Luck!
