Brand new flash drive!!! i plug it in and it does nothing???

its a rundisk 2.0 256mb and im using xp pro 2002
im pissed off ... plz tell me how to get it to work...

Answer:
If you venture to Rundisk's support website Download area, you will notice and read that the USB drive requires download of drivers and formatting of the actual drive (using the proper MPInit program)

Many USB drives requires proprietary drivers especially when a new hardware signature is introduced - even for Windows XP.

Hope this helps...
did you load the drivers?is your usb port dead?
When you plug it in, it may have to install some hardware drives on your computer. When it's done doing that, you should be able to save stuff onto it and open it.

To open it, go into "My Computer" then find the new drive, it may be labeled as Rundisk or something relating to the flash drive. You can open things in it and save things to it. :)
If you are using a desktop, make sure you plug it directly into your computer (not through a keyboard or display USB slot). Many computers recognize USB Drives as being power hungry, and thus require a more direct connection to the BUS. If that doesn't solve it, check the manufacturer's FAQ and Support site for help.
You may need to install the drivers. If it came with a CD run the cd first and install the program.
If it didn't come with a cd go to the web page for the company that makes your flash drive and look for a section called "drivers" then download and run the one for your specific model of flash drive.
That should work, but on the rare chance it doesn't, phone the company that made the flash drive for suggestions. Then if they can't help you take it back to the store that you bought it and trade it in for a different type of flash drive from a different company and go back to step 1.
Is the USB port broken? Try checking. Did you install the drivers? If there are some, then install them. Sometimes you also need a restart to get it going. Flash drives aren't exactly plug-n-play for some older PCs.
