First off if you don't want viruses transfered to your computer don't lend out your flash drives.
Worst case scenario it's toast.
Chalk it up to a lesson learned.
I already learned this lesson.
Someone who knows more might help.

Hello there,

Sounds like it is defective at this point. Have you tried reading it in LINUX or APPLE computer?

It might be corrupted but still readable.

Thanks,

Closing the stable doors after the horse has bolted, but never allow anyone to use your drives of any discription that contain important data, which by the way should have been burnt to a cd/dvd for security. You should always have more then one copy of what you can't afford to loose.

Destroy that drive if it's infected you'll just pass the virus off to someone else.
Some friend you are! try it on someone's pc you don't like!
