Hi everyone: I'm not super strong when it comes to stuff like this, so I'm going to ask here.
Tonight, I was trying to compress a bunch of files on a USB drive to a ZIP file. It was going fine, but it was a lot of stuff, so the compression went on awhile. In the meantime, my screen went to sleep and I couldn't get it to wake up. Eventually, it did, but then the USB drive was disconnected in the process (not physically; I didn't bump the drive or anything), and I got the message about it not being ejected properly.
Now, when I plug it in again, it won't mount. It shows up grey in Disk Utility. I can't seem to mount it in Terminal, either. I tried running Disk Utility in Recovery mode, and no luck there, either.
I've attached a screenshot of what I get in Terminal when I list the drives with the USB stick plugged in.
I'd really like to try and salvage the data from the USB drive, if possible. I don't care about the drive itself; I was in the process of moving files off of it as it was.
Thanks for any guidance.
