Are any other USB devices troubling you besides the memory stick? From experience, sometimes those are formatted in a weird way which makes accessing data complicated or impossibly without using the bundled software. My mother has one that will show up as a USB device as well as a CD Drive (odd, eh?) and the files are stored in a hidden folder in the USB device. Even through formatting this doesn't change, so there's a chance your USB stick is similar in design to make retrieving data from it without the bundled software a pain.
