...all data is erased!? Please HELP! There is alot of precious files in there. I have learnt my lesson in back-ups, but now I need to be able to open those documents!!

It was working just fine before, and after a couple of hours, I plug the USB drive in, and now I can't open it. A message pops up and says that I haven't formatted it (even though I have before). I click yes, format, but then it says all data is going to be ERASED!
I clicked cancel, because I need the files on it.

How can I open the USB file WITHOUT having to format it? Or how can I format the USB and then recover the erased files??
