If you are running the Windows 98 version of DOS, or newer, it should be able to recognize your USB in dos. Even if it is designated as your "D" drive in DOS, you should be able to change directory to your "D" drive and access your data.

What drives show up in DOS? Can you use the change directory command (cd C:, etc.) to access the A, B, D, etc.? Is it true DOS (boot-to DOS), or a command window?

The drive letter should not matter--just that your computer can recognize the USB stick.

Type
assign a=d

This will redirect anything to drive a (floppy) to drive D and should solve your issue
