make it fresh and hopefully remove all errors. The software for
formatting comes on the CD or available on support sites for your
branded usb drive on the net. For some reason, when I ran this
formatting software, it would say the USB drive is not connected.

By the sound of it, this memory stick has become corrupted in some way. Have you take it out of a computer without safely ejecting it, by any chance?
It's unlikely that you'll be able to get your data off it now, unfortunately. Your best bet is to reformat it. On a Mac, use Disk utility - select the memory stick and go to the 'Erase' tab. On MS Windows, find it in your file browser, right click and select 'Format'.
Hope this helped!
