And it can't be. I know i stored some powerpoint presentations there. When i use it at work, it also sometimes shows it's empty. Did i caught a virus, i hope not. The computer at work is really old and this never happened to me before and it's frustrating. One minute i have something on my usb drive and next, it's gone. For a week, i'm experiencing this.

May be the computer at work is too old, the USB slot still a 2.0 and cannot read a faster USB stick.

It might need reformatting Or try it on another device Or check if there is a little switch thong at the side that it hasn't been moved

That's very worrying. Can you get someone to check it out for you?
