I've seen the same problem with a USB stick, W7 wouldn't read, insisted on formatting, I put the stick in an XP machine the data was still there and readable. As a precaution I backed up then reformatted the stick. W7 also has a nasty habit of insisting that USB sticks need to be checked for consistency, then breaking the contents if you let it go ahead.
