If it's brand new and doesn't work, return it.

You probably pulled it out of your USB port without disconnecting it safely. This can cause corruption at times. Try reformatting the drive or run the check disk/fix disk to find and fix any errors. To do any of this, put your flash drive in the USB port then when it shows up in my computer, right click it and choose Format, or Properties and then go to the Tools tab.
