You need to try this before formatting.

Sounds like your U3 software hit an error. Try what other people are suggesting - put it in another computer.
If that doesn't work, bring up a command prompt (Start > Run > "cmd") and run this function:
CHKDSK I: /F
(assuming your device is labeled as the I drive?)
If that doesn't work, a computer repair shop might know some better methods of retrieving the data. Sorry for your loss

try plugging it into another computer. Also try going into the flash drive without the U3 software. It should bring up 2 drive letters one for the pen drive and one for u3. Also remember to also back up in more then one place. One place of storage is never safe since hardware will fail. Also pen drives always get lost.

I agree that flash drives seem a thank you to head. I back up all of my records from the flash force onto my stressful force. If i choose a on hand backup while i'm faraway from abode, I the two place a replica of the document in my Yahoo briefcase or e mail it to myself. That way i'm able to get carry of it everywhere there is cyber web get right of entry to.
