Your chances of access or recovery of the data on the flash drive are probably not good.
1.Does your computer recognize the presence of the flash drive?
2.have you tried the flash drive in ALL the usb ports on your computer?
3.If you can i would recommend that you return the flash drive to the computer where it was (your friends i presume) and see if the contents can be accessed there.
   If they can then make a backup copy on that computer and then copy them to some other removable media and bring them to your computer. If they are not accessible on the original computer then they are most likely lost. It may also be that the data is in a file format that is not currently readable by your computer. If that is the case then find out the file format and get the necessary software that will open it.truenorth

Are you opening the folder by double-clicking on the "Open folder to view files" option that pops up automatically? If so, then don't do that any more. That's how viruses get executed from USB. Try opening the drive from My Computer. Does it work?

So, the flash drive does appear in My Computer when connected, right? How about posting a screen print so we can see what you see when you "open the usb"?
