Basically, today the plastics of my USB came loose from being in my bag. It didn't look broken, just the loose plastic- or so I thought.

When I plug it in, nothing comes up on my computer. However it DOES say its installing driver software andbis ready to use.

Ive tried various computers and reallocating various letters etc. But it isnt working. I can't format it because it comes up that there Is no disk to format basically!

I have a lot of important files (yup.. I shoulda backed it up) and really need them retrieved.

Any help would be really really appreciated.
