    hmm... try if it works ,,, download data recovery software from internet (download from torrent so you can get full version) and recover data from device and format it !

    Try using it in different PCs.. if that does'nt work, its hard to recover data from it. You must format it 😔

    Based on my personal experience, I'd suggest you as Pechu said. Try using it on different systems. Also, open the pen drive using Linux (live CD). I had faced similar problem, and I was able to open the drive from Linux.

    PS: I don't know the reason.
