I had the same problem soom weeks back. If possible do a 'System Restore' going back to the time when you took out your f lash drive. I assume you have Windows XP on your system. Otherwise, I had to do a 'non-destructive restore' on mine using a program called 'PC Angel'. But if you have any type of support for your computer then you should call them first.
