Can data survive USB Error 10?

There I was, happily working on a project, when I saved a < 1MB file to the crappy USB stick I was issued, and it crapped out. Disconnected and reconnected a few times without me touching it and then it died.

Windows 7 lists it in Device Manager and in "Devices and Printers" but it won't show as a drive anywhere (i.e. Disk Management, My Computer, etc) BT5 Linux detects it when running lsusb in a Terminal command line, but I cannot mount it because, as far as I can tell, it's no where in /dev.

It's a Centon Swivel 2GB drive. lsusb shows it as having 64MB... a secret partition, maybe?

Anyway, I'm wondering how I would get the data off of it, if that's possible. Was messing with Digital File Forensics, which comes with BT5, but am a fish out of water.

I just want one Gantt diagram and a progress report to finish this project and I'll be a happy camper.

Will Anon deliver? Please?

P.S. Tried all the driver tricks suggested by Google searches.

It's probably because you're using windows.

This OS is only useful beacause it is popular, wich means, lots of programs to it, and all good games runs in it.

OP here.
Like I said, I tried it in Linux too (BT5).

OP here,

I obtained hard copies of all four reports and the Gantt, so the master document is saved, but I'd kind of like to keep trying with this USB for educational purposes.

But, if the data is lost for good, I'm going to douse it in lighter fluid or kerosene or whatever I can find and torch it.

So it will be fun either way.
