Because the flash drive works in a different computer, we can assume
it is good. It's just that your eMachine can't read it.
It assigns a drive letter, but just can't read the drive.
You may be able to fix it by uninstalling the USB controller
drivers ... they will re-install themselves the next time you bootup.
Just open Device Manager (right click My Computer, then Properties,
then Hardware, then Device Manager)
Scroll down to the USB section ...right click each USB controller
listing and click Uninstall... reboot..
let us know ...
ps ... the problem may have been caused if you removed the flash
drive without "stopping" it first ... be sure to open the icon down
by the clock that looks like an arrow and select the drive and "stop"
it before you remove it while Windows is still running.

the hard drive to the Flash Drive. The Flash Drive works great in my
Toshiba laptop and I have no problem transferring information from
there.
