Verbatim USB Flash Drive Stops Being Recognized

All of a sudden the other day, my Verbatim USB flash drive just stopped being recognized... it had been mounted, a TM backup made to it when all of a sudden I got an error stating that it had been improperly removed... it was like I had yanked it from the USB port...

I tried unplugging it, reconnecting, rebooting, moving it to another computer... no luck... it doesn't even show up in Disk Utility

Verbatim has agreed to replace it under warranty but I'm wondering if there's anyway that I can mount it again to retrieve the TM backups...

Any thoughts?

Many thanks!

My Verbatim 32G flash drive appears on the left, but it will not allow me to repair it, mount, or eject it. It will not show up in Computer like it normally does. I have tried restarting it, turning it off, and doing Command+Option+r+p, which did not work. I believe I caused this problem by accidenlty ejecting the flash drive before safely removing it. How could I make it appear on the Computer again?
