If the pen drive is normally doesn't open, pls try this to open the files. Open my computer and Right click on the pen drive and from pop up menu select search option and give a letter 'a' and search and all the files in pen drive will bill be displayed

Copy your files and only your files from your usb keys on windows desktop, then format your usb key and transfert the files to your usb key.
