USB Flash Drive - No Longer Working?

[MissSherlock]

Hi All,


I have photos backed up on a 64GB Flash Drive (3.1). I was backing up photos onto disks and half way through the copy process the drive quit.


Windows 7 will no longer recognize the drive. It says the drive isn't formatted? If I look under Disk Management it shows the USB as raw.


I plan on using another computer at our local library. Their computers run Ubuntu (Linux) and also have Mac computers.



Any other suggestions?


With thanks,

If it's raw it's lost the partition table and you need specific partition recovery free software

Hi MissSherlock,

Windows 7 will no longer recognize the drive. It says the drive isn't formatted? If I look under Disk Management it shows the USB as raw.

Have you either tried the USB in another computer or rebooted and tried it again in the same computer?

Hi Samuria and Paul,

I did reboot my computer and tried again. Unfortunately, it didn’t work. I plan on using another computer over at the library to see if I can read it on their computers. ��

I’ll also look into partition software recovery as well

Thank you for the help. I’ll keep you posted.
