According to your words, I believe your USB has been formatted or virus infected. In other words, your USB drive lost its data. If it is very important to you, you can use recovery tool to restore your data. There are many freeware you can find on the internet, for example, 4Card Recovery. Have a try.

Try this,
Format your Flash Drive after backing up your data using this tool,

http://hddguru.com/download/software/HDDGURU-Low-Level-Format-Tool/LLFsetup.2.36.1181.exe

This will format the drive in RAW file system. After doing format using this tool, perform a general format in windows by going to disc management. In disc management, select FAT or FAT32 as file system based on the capacity of your flash drive. IF it is upto 2 GB format using FAT and if more than that format using FAT32.
Please let me know if you need further help.
Thanks

Save the contents in the pen drive (this process will delete all the files in ur pen drive) and then download this http://www.apacer.com/en/support/downloads/Repair_v2.9.1.8A.zip,unzip it n run.....click "Format".
