So I apparently did something to my USB memory stick, containing vital data.
Now it shows up empty in windows explorer, with a volume label "NF_MSCDX_XX"

How screwed am I?

Is it physically damaged?

I'd try it on another computer.

It's completely undamaged, I must have done *something* to it while drunk. The stick is working normally - it's just that the data on it is gone (don't ask me why)
