    I had ALL of my work saved on my USB Flash Drive. I tried to open it and got a dreaded, "Corrupted and unable to read". I about threw up. I searched all over to find help. Professionals wanted an ungodly amount. Then I came across this video and the second tip (admin command) fixed it. I WANT TO KISS YOU!! Thank you so much!

    My USB was corrupted with all my 3D models and code files. This was all built up in a span of 4 years. The USB was my only hope after my laptop broke down. I tried using the commands like you did in the video, this made it accessible but deleted most of my data. Later in the video I saw the Wondershare method and I was doomed in my head because I had missed a big chance of getting my data back.

    An absolute gentleman. Would not have gotten my issue sorted without you.
    I followed each step on two different laptops but it was working for me.
    The Wondershare Recovery worked though... Kind of. I installed it, had it scan for my drive and that fixed it. I didn't even need to buy the product to recover the data.
    Once Wondershare scanned it, the USB Drive was back appearing in my Windows Explorer. I backed the hell up out of it immediately to my external drive. Spent the last 20/30 minutes barely moving incase it stopped working.
    Backed up now and that stick is being chucked in the bin. Whether or not it's been fixed or not... The Cursed thing has caused me too much grief to even look at it anymore.
    It's disloyalty cannot go unpunished.

      I’m glad to hear you managed to recover your data with Wondershare Recovery and get everything backed up! It sounds like you went through a stressful situation, but you handled it well.
      Your reaction to the USB stick is pretty relatable. Sometimes, it’s best to just cut ties with unreliable hardware and not let it cause more headaches. It’s always a good idea to have backups in place to avoid these kinds of situations in the future.
      If you need any more help or advice on data recovery or backups, feel free to ask!

      Exactly! If W11 Control Panel is displaying a Yellow 'not recognised' message and your USB is 'hiding' the last letter you used (after, say, formatting it, to clear unimportant info. in my case) you are stuck trying to progress with an absent drive letter from the last one used. Is that your case?

    No USB port on either of my computers will recognize the thumb (flash) drive when I plug it in. There is no visual damage to the drive and the drive has worked successfully for many weeks. I have some critical data on the drive that I'm eager to recover. When I plug the unit into any USB port, I get the audible "ding" and the light on the end of the drive flashes. I've tried wiggling it about and no success - that is, when it's plugged in, I open File Explorer (I have Windows 10) and the thumb drive (normally F:) is not listed. Any ideas gratefully accepted.

    • @RecoveritDataRecoverySoftware
      @RecoveritDataRecoverySoftware  Рік тому

      Hi there, thank you for your question! Check the USB port by trying to plug the USB drive into a different USB port. You can also try updating or reinstalling USB drivers on your computer, as outdated or corrupted drivers can cause issues with USB devices. If the USB drive is still not recognized on another computer, it may be damaged or corrupted. In that case, you can try using Recoverit to recover the data on the device. Download it here: bit.ly/3ZoowNK
      If these methods fail, you may need to contact a data recovery professional.

Then I found you after a little search. Suddenly, there were my files back (after using the CMD option) and operating as they should. I was sweating at the possible loss of all and needed a gin. But all is well now. I'll still have the gin. Thanks again!

      Hi there, thank you for your question! IT sounds like your USB is damaged and you might need to just buy a new USB. If the scan and repair process doesn’t work, you can try reformatting the flash drive. However, keep in mind that reformatting will erase all of your files. If the flash drive has physical damage, you might be able to repair it at home, but it’s best to take it to a data recovery professional.

    I have a corrupted USB drive that had its format changed to RAW, so not even the Windows Utility nor CMD chkdsk could read and fix the problems, how do I fix this so I can recover the data, or is the data unrecoverable at this point?

      Hi there, thank you for your question! If you tried all the steps in the video, then I would recommend trying data recovery software such as Recoverit but I can't guarantee you will be able to retrieve your files but if they're important to you its worth trying.

    I hear the usb indicator sound. And it's in the device manager "disk drivers" but apparently not appearing in the file explorer not even the DRIVE/letter it was assigned to before. None of these worked.. 😣

      Hi there, thank you for your question! If none of those s0olutions worked and you tried testing it on a different pc as well I would recommend getting a new USB or taking it to a professional for further assistance.

    what seems to be the cause whenever I insert my flash drive to our biometric machine to download data or file from it. It always appear from the screen like this "FORMAT ERROR" I already followed and done all the tutorials in this video but it won't work in my case. Sir, Do you have other explanations or suggestions on what to do?

      Hi there, thank you for your question! It most likely indicates an incompatibility or issue with the flash drive’s file system, capacity, or structure. Many biometric machines only support specific file systems, such as FAT32 or NTFS, so reformatting the drive to the required file system (e.g., FAT32) may resolve the issue-be sure to back up your data first, as reformatting erases files. Additionally, some machines only support drives up to a certain size, so using a smaller-capacity drive may help. If the flash drive is corrupted, running a disk check can repair errors, while reviewing the machine’s documentation can clarify any specific folder or file format requirements it may have. If the issue persists, consider checking for a firmware update for the biometric machine, as updates often improve compatibility with newer drives.

    I've tried all sorts to no avail, hence why I'm here. A 128gb Kingston USB drive. Suddenly displays 'drive is write protected'. Tried many tools, and drive appears to have a RAW file system. Tried to remove write protect with CMD prompt, but nothing 🤔
    Shows in disk manager. Recovered some files with a utility, but can't format. Chkdsk can't access either.

      Hi mate. I have the same situation with my sandisk 64gb. you managed to fix it in the end? I have i used many recovery softwares but none worked

      @@ovatsug1977 No, it's dead. I went to Kingston's web site, and if you're getting the write protect message, they advise you to contact their technical support. I did, and they sent me a new one. Told me to dispose of the old one safely 😁

      Hi there, thank you for your question! I would recommend trying to play the videos on a different device try sending them to a mobile or any other device and see if it might just be an issue with the video itself.

      Hi there, thank you for your question! I would recommend trying data recovery software such as Recoverit to attempt to recover your files. I would also recommend checking the file system for errors, or try accessing the flash drive on another device to rule out system issues.
