Again, thanks.
Connect the device to your PC, then open My Computer, locate the drive letter in question, RIGHT-click on it, choose Properties, then select the Tools tab: under Error Checking, you will want to click on Check Now. This may or may not recover your files but at least it will fix the FAT file system. Any damaged/recovered files will show up on said drive as FILE000x.CHK but they're not of much use typically unless they're text-only.
