Hi everyone, need your help,
My USB suddenly stopped working, when I plugged it into my computer it said it 'needs to be formatted'.
I tried using command prompt chkdsk /f G: , which came with the message 'The type of file system is RAW'
I then took it too a computer shop near by and ask if they could restore/retrieve my data, he plugged it into the computer and ran some strange program and said it will take 3 hours with no guarantee he can restore anything...
I said no thanks,
I did some more research and downloaded EASEUS and was planning to restore the data with that.
But now when I connect my USB it does not appear in my computer or in Driver management so I can't run EaseUS to restore the files as my computer does not show the device at all.
When I connect the USB it says Driver successfully installed' Innostor NAND Flash USB Device' & 'USB Mass Storage Device'
But I cannot see anything in my computer, I have gone into device manager and uninstalled the Innostor driver , reboot update driver etc...still nothing.
Is there any way I can retrieve the files on my USB, its only one word.doc file that I want.
I then tried to connect my USB to a Linux pc, the device appeared in my computer under 'Innostor NAND Flash USB device' but I could not open the device it just said 'unable to mount' or something like that.
How can I find out if the computer shop didn't accidentally click Format and erased all my data...
Please help me.
Thank you for any help and advice
