My USB flash drive ate my data!

Is there something about flash drives I should be aware of? I have several folders on it for each of my classes, and today when I checked all of the files were missing from one of the folders except one. The only thing I can think of is that I was working on a c++ program yesterday that was sitting on the flash drive, so I was compiling it and stuff a bunch of times. Is it possible it somehow overwrote all of my files?

BTW, it's a Sandisk Mini Cruzer 128MB drive.

Maybe you could try a data recovery program on it. I don't know if it works for flash storage but it wouldn't hurt
