USB Drive nightmare, please help?

Question

About 6 months ago, I transferred the the last 6 years of my life onto a USB pen as I was getting rid of my old laptop. I made sure all the files were downloaded to it and triple checked everything was there. I have come to use the information today and its a nightmare. Most of the folders where I have hundreds of pictures are not folders now but a 32k "file" shown as a piece of paper, as windows is unable to understand what they are. Both were taken from windows laptops, no mac/apple information. The flash drive says its near full, but I cannot access anything. 

Please help me if you know how I can fix this as I cannot replace what is on here. 
Many Thanks.

Hmmm this sounds soo sad and bad. I have had such problem and what I did was I let go the files and downloaded them again from the internet and the ones that could not be downloaded were lost. But I don't know about you how you are going to do it...

I think what I can tell you to do now is insert the Pendrive into another computer and see if you can see it there.You could see it on another computer because I have tried that and it worked after having first time of such problem. So insert it into another computer and see. 

Good luck!

If you have a software that will open pictures, plug in the usb drive and open that software and look for "import" .  Try to import one of the photographs into the photograph software.
