I have an interesting problem with a flash drive I have never seen before. When I plug it in to a machine, windows tells me that it found a new device listed as a "Security Device." It then asks for drivers for it. Does anyone know of any recourse I have to keep the flash drive around and usuable? Anything woud be helpful. Thanks in advance.

Does it have a fingerprint scanner on it?

OK, next guess is it's encrypted. That or its not really a flash drive. I've seen some advertised as a key. You plug it in and it logs you on. Pull it out and you are logged out. I think you can actually set it up so the PC can't be accessed without the key (thumb drive).
Where did you get and have you ever used it before? Maybe it just needs to be formated in disk management.

A make and model would be helpful.
