Consider using dd to make a backup image of it before proceeding with anything else In windows have you tried : chkdsk :d /f (where d is the usb drive letter) (I think that command is correct, I don't use windows) *Can gparted check it.

Verify that it is in fact a FAT filesystem. You can use "file /dev/sdb1" to see. If it is not FAT, you can try to mount it with the proper filesystem type. If not, then you will have to use recovery tools to try recover your files. Create an image file with dd (or dd_rescue) and use that. You have photorec and testdisk available on openSUSE. You can find what they do in the wikipedia and their home page. There are also some commercial tools that do a good job. I would start with testdisk, I think. Photorec works by searching the entire disk for the signatures of the files it recognizes - thus it may not recover files it knows nothing about. - -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.

Maybe not; that might only tell you that it is a block device. I'd recommend the command 'blkid'. See the man page for details. Its touted as <quote> The blkid program is the command-line interface to working with the libblkid(3) library.
