I have no idea what to do and all my gcse work is on it and i haven't got it saved anywhere else so i'm really desperate for a solution. PLEASE HELP ME :'(

    Right clik the USB stik and select Properties...
    If it says "RAW" then it's been unplugged prematurely 1 too many times and your data may be gone...
