    CANT access Usb Flash Drive


    Hi

    If someone could help me would be very appreciated.
    My usb flash drive was working without problems until today.
    (I dont know if the problem can be caused by the laptop that run out of battery.)
    So now when i enter My computer it loads a while, and when (if) drive letter appiers i can rightclick the drive and chose to open it gives message : Please insert driver

    I tried to chkdsk and it will give me message that: cant open volym for directaccesss.
    Now i also tried to see in prog GetDataBack for fat, and it wont find the drive letter.
    i used another prog as well wich gave me the following error: File or device error: the parameter is incorrect.

    so i think the drive lost its formatting. can i get the data back that was stored on it? Now when i rightclick the driver in properties there is 0 bytes in free space, 0 bytes used.
    I have done somehting similiar before but it was a usb hd not a usb stick.
    This one is a verbatim Store n go

    Pls help me to get back the data.

    Hard to follow from your description - I would try bootice - check what it says about the mbr and the format, and filesystem.

    To recover data from the pendrive first try Recuva. That should be the easiest to use. Recuva - Undelete, Unerase, File and Disk Recovery - Free Download

    If it does not help, you may try PhotoRec in Test Disk which is a powerful tool but requires a bit of learning curve. TestDisk - CGSecurity

    Both the above do not write anything to the drive being recovered and absolutely safe to try.

    For PhotoRec you may refer to the guide here apart from the documentation in the Test Disk site.
    To be specific to your problem the following screenshots should help. (provided PhotoRec can catch your pen drive :))

    Then there are other programs like Minitool Partition Recovery and EaseUs Partition Recovery but the free versions will most probably recover only 1GB of data.

    Recover ntfs hard drive with MiniTool Partition Recovery.

    Free Partition Recovery Software - Recover Deleted FAT/NTFS/HFS/HFS+/HFSX/Ext2/Ext3 Partition in Windows and Mac OSX.

    I shall leave it to other experts here in case Recuva and PhotoRec fail to bring results in your case.
