It's hard to say what exactly got wrong when you used a USB. Normally, if you run the latest version, and if you follow this page, http://www.mnemosyne- proj.org/help/running-from-usb-drive.php, you won't get any problems. To recover, look into the backup directory inside your .mnemosyne directory, identify the latest xml backup and decompress it. Then, create a new, empty database, and import that uncompressed xml file into it.
