Go to Diskmanagement.

Answer #7
it probably has been formatted to a linux partition or has some kind of security feature enabled. non windows format is not recognized by windows. Boot to a linux live cd format the drive to fat32 or ntfs and the drive should be able to be used again
Linux mint live cd should take care of it
