Your USB drive is damaged, and as cheap as they make em now, its almost unrepairable.

Try rebooting your machine. It sometimes helps.

Then try running ScanDisk on it. (right click on it and go to tools or advanced and run a scan)

Than try other computers.

You may be out of luck mate.

I had same problem before and rebooting solved it for me. Try the following hopefully it will work otherwise you are F@$ked.
In Window XP, go to start, All Program, Accessories and then window explorer. See if you can open your drive this way. It may sound silly, but last week a colleague had this problem and we opened the files this way. Good luck.
If it did not work try, Start, All Program, Accessories, then c:\command prompt. You will be in DOS prompt. Then at C:\******> do the following and you need to know the drive name e.g D, E, or J.
If your drive is E then type the following.
C:\******> dir E:
then hit the ENTR and see if it list all the files on your USB key. If this works, then maybe you will be able to retrieve the data.

Were you cross-using it with a Mac or Linux machine?
