URGENT!! full pendrive is apparently 'empty' and I cannot access files
I'm using Windows 7 Home premium. I have a lot of files on my pendrive, and have never had any problems until yesterday. All of a sudden my laptop won't recognise my pendrive, it tells me it is empty or, when I do actually manage to see the files and folders stored on it, it will not open them. When I check properties, I'm told the disk is completely empty. I have three different USB ports on my laptop, and yesterday one of them did allow me to access the pendrive, but today it won't and I get a message telling me to format the disk.
I've seen various solutions to this type of problem offered on the internet, but none of these work because when I use the cmd command and then type in the drive, I'm told it doesn't exist or cannot be found.
Can someone please help me????
