Hi cgbrowne,
Please open Disk Management and check if the pendrive has a correct file format. Try to change the drive letter, selecting another one that is not in use or reserved. Check the pendrive on another PC, or on a device like a TV or a DVD player. Are the files visible? If you still cannot access them, try using some data recovery tools. Once you copy all the important data format the pen drive.
Hope this helps
