    Might be the USB stick or something. Maybe it stopped working. Have you tried using it on other PC's?

    Sorry I haven't responded sooner.

    The USB stick might be not working anymore.

    You might be able to ask some people at a PC shop or something, but they'll probably ask for $$ even just to do a diagnostics or something.

    It's really hard to diagnose what the problem is without being able to physically access the drive and find hardware problems.

    You would probably need a flash drive data recovery company that specializes in recovering data off of usb flash drives..
