USB Memory Stick help - ShadowSR - Jan 1, 2013
Hello, i got a big problem.
I have an USB Memory stick [pendrive] 1GB.
In this USB i have very very very much important documents, and i can't acces it.
When i put the USB Stick in my laptop the windows says:
"You need to format the disk in drive H: Before you can use it."
I don't want to format him because i don't want to lost my documents, in linux[backtrack] the system doesn't recognize my USB STICK. What i can do to recovery my files? :( I tried very very much programs, but nothing.
Please help me ;(

Had this problem with a microSD card (8GB) containing all my music. Never found a way to fix it, even downloaded some suspicious "flash drive fixers", but none helped. I hope the method above helps you, but when a flash drive is corrupted it mostly just gets trown away.
