Hey there, Flex.
Would you please post a screenshot of what you see in Disk Management when you have the flash drive connected to the computer? Here's how to open DM: http://products.wdc.com/support/kb.ashx?id=rPdhdS If you are able to see the flash drive there just follow this tutorial: http://products.wdc.com/support/kb.ashx?id=0LbcWj (note that even if it says a hard drive, it's still viable for a flash drive as well, however if there's a partition you might have to click on it with the right mouse button and select "Delete volume"). Make sure that you don't format one of your other drives by mistake.
You can also try this method: https://ccm.net/faq/8342-format-an-usb-flash-drive-in-ntfs
Hope that helps. Please let me know how it goes.
