USB flash storage device trouble

Ok hey guys,

 

I have a USB device that was working fine about a day ago and suddenly it begins to malfunction. On many computers that I have plugged it into before it installs the driver software again and stranger it installs this USB 30X Drive software at the same time. I have no idea what it is but The moment that had started it began to fail, I have a feeling it may be a virus but I'm not sure.

However, the computer recognises that my USB has been plugged in but all it says is Removable Disc (E:); and when I click on it, it says that I have to insert a disc in to that drive. Also on every computer I have plugged it into, it registers as the E: drive.

 

Anyone have any ideas on what is happening, or is my USB just falling apart.

 

Btw. I also have another USB that I know works perfectly but the connector thing has been damaged and cannot be jacked into the computer. Is there any way to get the data off it?

Did you try to right click on the drive and format it? Just a thought ....
