Help with formatting USB memory stick?


I was on holiday and while I was trying to transfer photos from my digital camera to my USB stick, the computer in the hotel froze so I just pulled the stick out (bad mistake, I now realize). When I plugged the USB into another computer, it no longer recognizes and asks me to format it. If I go through with the Windows XP formatting, it only allows me to format it ro FAT32 or FAT.
I really don't want to lose the data already on my USB, and I was wondering will it erase the memory if I format it the XP way? If it does, is there any other way for my to get the USB to work again without losing the memory already on it? (downloading software, editing registry, etc).

Heck, I would even settle for pulling the USB apart and building the memory chip into another USB, if that's even possible.

Thanks for any help!

Formatting will erase everything on the memory chip. Take it to a computer tech shop, and see if they can recover the data for you.

Its probally gone, and formatting means wiping the drive.
