    That looks like a corrupt boot sector which means your landing gear is down and you are approaching fucked. If you have any serious hardcore nerd friends now might be the time to call them up. Unfortunately I know how to talk the talk but when it comes to implementation I don't have the chops. Try DiskWarrior to see if you can repair the boot sector but you might be limited since its formatted fat32. This product saved my ass once when I was in a similar situation:

    I think its your best bet but you'll need to run it on windows which brings us back to the virus question but you may just have to suck it up to get the data off the drive.
