USB flashdrive problem

Hi everyone,
New here, tried to search for this but didn't find much.
I have two new HP 8gb flashdrives (v115w), one works and one doesn't.
The one that doesn't will not even show up on the system profiler.

Is there anything I can do to reset/fix the dud drive?

System- iBook g4 osx10.5

Ok, I lied.
This is the good one (first) and the bad one (second) in the profiler.

It's a bad flash drive. Likely nothing that you can do that will fix it.
If it's new - take back to where you purchased it. You should be able to get that replaced.
