So, my entire life is on this USB drive and I take good care of it. I eject it before removing from my computer. All of a sudden, I get home from school and my computer is telling me that it's unreadable. I click on initialize when this window pops up, and it tells me all these different things that i can do in order to retrieve the information on the disk. However, my computer won't let me press any of these buttons. You can see screen shots of what showed up down below. PLEASE HELP!!!!! I was about to back up my disk when i got home today and i have a week's worth of work on there that is irreplaceable!!!!!

You're pretty much screwed then.

I lost a years worth of photos that were stored on an SD card that crapped out on me. Lesson learned, back up often.
