My Flash Drive Wont Work

I don't really think it's a question of durability, my flash drive is on my keychain and I throw it around and have stepped on it. It's been through all kinds of abuse and it still works as well as the day I bought it. My uncle on the other hand, his computer kills any usb item he plugs into it.

 

help. USB drive isn't assigned a drive letter.

Any usb flash drive I plug into my computer isn't assigned a drive letter. The physical drive shows in the "safely remove hardware" but it doesnt show up in disk management. I have tried to populate the volume thru the safely remove hardware properties window and it does pop up in the list but it doesn't stay there. This isn't a format or assign a letter problem. It's more complicated then that. Maybe one of the services needed for usb drive management was disabled? Suggestions needed. btw external usb harddrives work fine.
