USB Flash Drive

I have a desktop pc whose OS is windows 7 and a laptop whose OS is win exp prof.  i bought a HP 4 gig flash drive.  It works fine on my desktop, but when I plug it into my8 laptop, and try to view it in My computer, although it sees the drive as F, but when I click on it, it says to insert the disk.  I have checked in the Device Manager, and there are no errors.  Hope someone could give me some tips on how to troubleshoot and fix this problem. Thank u.

Go back into Computer management and look at Disk Management and see what it says in there about the flash drive.

it can be the drive is bad -  test it on the W7 desktop, (copy data elsewhere) and reformat it
you can also check for errors in device manager of the laptop, or in event logs
and updating the drivers can help too
