USB Memory Bar

Hey, I have a problem with my memory stick I need help to solve. The stick is a 32GB stick formatted to NTFS. I started it up this morning and attempted to open a Microsoft Office file, and the stick just crashed. After that, it wouldn't let me access it. It now comes up as "USB MEMORY BAR USB Device" under device manager (for some reason it is listed under disk drives), and does not appear in My Computer. I have tried many solutions, all of which have come up with nothing. I desperately need the files off of this stick. Is there any way to recover them?

You can try disk management in Windows, if it shows up in there then see if you have the option to import foreign disks

Scrap that, doesn't work with removable media.

There is no option to import foreign disks. When I go on to the properties for the disk it shows as having no capacity and no reserved or allocated space It also . It also does not show the size or partitions in disk management like the other storage devices. I also tried it on another machine and it asked me to insert a disk when I attempted to open it.

try another pc? another USB port, maybe one on the back if you're using the front. Put it into a USB 2.0 port if its a 3.0 or vice versa. try restarting the pc

thats what I think from top of my head.
 
Just did. It appeared in my computer then asked me to insert a disk when I tried to open it. Otherwise it was the same result. Also under disk management it show "No Media" under the name, which has changed from what it was originally to simply "Removable [E:]".
