Oh sorry, I forgot to mention,
Now I am using XP home. I have 7 at work, and I tried there, it was the same.
So I am on XP-home now.

OK.
Can you access the drive in Windows Explorer at all? If so, can you copy across any data you require to somewhere else - I think the only thing we can try now is a reformat of the USB drive.
How old is it? CRC errors are usually a sign the disk might be on the way to the junkyard.

OK. I am not sure whether this is going to help you but no harm in trying.
Read this thread Regain a lost drive using Test Disk - An Illustrated Guide thoroughly (especially Part 2 which was the real test) and run Test Disk.
Pay attention and read every Window from top to bottom before inputting your commands. If Test Disk is successful in retrieving and writing the partition data and shows the partition, press P as indicated in the relevant window to list the folders/files. You can then copy them to another drive.
Take your time to read and understand the working of Test Disk from my guide as well as Test Disk website.
Also have a look at this article http://www.easeus.com/resource/raw-e...e-recovery.htm You may want to try this first as it appears to be easier.
Let us know what happens. Good luck.
Hi Golden, No I can't access the drive in Windows Explorer either.Can you access the drive in Windows Explorer at all? If so, can you copy across any data you require to somewhere else - I think the only thing we can try now is a reformat of the USB drive.

It has not been a year that I bought it.
I am not sure if this CDI is reliable, becouse I got similar result from my local drive check. Here it is:
Hi Jumanji, I will try your suggestion too. Hope I can save my data somehow...
Hi,
In Disk Management, is the drive shown at all?
Crystal Disk Info is quite reliable - your C: drive has a few issues, but not as bad as the USB drive. Can you also try the HUTIL tool from this link:
Hard Drive Diagnostics Tools and Utilities (Storage) - TACKtech Corp.
If the Samsung diagnostic tools can't read the drive, then I'm not sure what else we can do. I'll see if I can find a hardware guru to help.

Hi Jumanji,
I am trying Test Disk.
Following window appeared:
I continued with analyze: and following window appeared:
I went on with deeper search and waiting...
There is also a recovery program in it named as photorec_win but it didn't help, or I didn't wait enough. It is starting and giving "error reading sector" 1794,2691,3588 ........ It goes like this, and I stopped it.
