If "all the file that i restore gone" means you have deleted all of the files, then simply try formatting the drive. Aside from that, it could be spyware/malware or it has simply failed.

Goto dos mode, change the attribute of files in the drive (attrib *.* -s -h). Then you will see your files. Your pendrive might be infected so scan with virus scanner.
