    Ok So here's the problem. My USB drive works fine in one of my computers but when I put it into my laptop it comes up saying "you need to format the disk in drive G: before you can use it." So just to see if it would work I formatted it and replugged it in. Then it asked me to reformat it again. So then I went in device manager, the usb drive shows up, so I uninstalled the drivers hoping windows would reinstall them. I plugged it in again and it still told me I had to format it. Any help?
