If i close down the thumb drive to take it home do you think that I will be totally screwed at that point?

Nope, the data is still there and won't go away just from a delete - just don't put anything else on the thumb drive until you can run some sort of recovery tool.

you'll be fine, run one of those file undelete programs on it at home, as long as you don't write anything else to the drive it should be ok.

Well, with enough time you could follow the file allocation chain and probably figure out where the missing pieces are.

YOU didn't help. Go to your room! And not the bathroom that would not be a punishment.

Or youll create a hole in the space-time continuum. Which would be cool too.

No matter how hard I try, that hasn't happened yet

He's got boobs in his room. A whole wall of em, like a climbing wall at a gym, but boobs.
