Did you try to format it?

i dont think that using ur pendrive for 3 hrs will damage it....... for past 6 months i am using my pendrive to watch movies connected to my Div X player.
Try to format it... but u will loose u r data though if the data is critical u can still recover after format but dont write anything before the recovery is complete

using pendrive for 3hours don't damage it....!! i think its due to the damage of your USB port in yr sys or in yr p drive!!

I think ur USB port is damaged.
Just try in any other USB port.

It may have an autorun.inf so you cant double click it and open it in explorer. Try navigating to it under cmd and deleting that file.

Yes, if windows detected the drive, and you can see the free space etc in the drive's properties and you get this kind of error, you should try what I said, because I revived my friend's pen drive in the same way.

If windows cant detect it or anything, It might have been damaged. Try all you can, and then do a low level format. If it doesnt work, replace the pen drive.
