Sage advice:

Get thee files OFF the supect drive NOW!!! USB Thumb drives are made 
so cheaply that NONE should be accepted as good quality. If one 
formats and accepts files, it is good for the time it takes to get 
those files to the machine you wish to store them. NO USB drive 
should ever be used for storage. If you want to store something on 
portable media, get a USD *disk* [and even those can be suspect at times].
