Hi, I have a Cruzer Micro 4GB U3 with security enabled, I once typed the password wrong and accidentally clicked the delete button when it appeared. I immediately disconnected the USB from the computer without going through the erase process (i.e. using the eject button).

When I reconnected the USB to the computer, the U3 software no longer asks for a password. In "My Computer" I can see both the U3 system drive and the Cruzer drive. The Cruzer drive capacity shows that the free space is only 63 MB, so I think my files are still on the USB. (at least I hope), but all the files are now showing up with foreign (corrupted) names, is there any way to recover the files? Please help me.
