Recovery flash drives - ways to
There was a nuisance - your flash drive is notIt opens, it can not see files or can not be opened. There can be several reasons for this situation: power failure, incorrect removal of the device, viruses, the outbreak of their construction, the appearance of damaged memory areas. Sometimes grief can be helped, sometimes not. Recovery flash can be carried out in different ways, but it all depends on the type of damage.
The simplest problem is solved when the disappearance of files was due to the work of the virus. In this case, run the antivirus, it "heals"
In other cases, everything is somewhat more serious. If the information that was on the flash drive is not very important or there are easily accessible copies, then you can just limit the formatting of the device. Often this helps. You can first try to check the device with a regular program Windows ScanDisk. This program looks for defeated areas of memory and restores them. So if your drive crashes due to "clogged" clusters, this should help. If the miracle does not happen, you can start formatting. It can be done again with the help of a regular Windows program or any other operating system, or you can use special programs (for example, SDFormatter, HDDLFT, HP USB Disk Storage Format Tool, etc.).
If the information is very important, you can tryrestore it using the Recuva program. This program is distributed free of charge, but despite this, it does a good job of recovering files from a hard disk or flash drive. Part
In the event that a controller lock occurs(a special chip that is responsible for exchanging information between the computer and the drive), formatting may not help. Then you need to go to the manufacturer's website, find there a recovery program for your device type (usually the word "recovery" in the name), download, run it and do everything according to the instructions. These programs are often (almost always) contained on a disk that comes with a USB flash drive. Well, if it's not lucky, look for it on the official website.
All efforts have not yielded results - perhapsthe controller burned out. Then you have a direct path to a specialist, but this is not a cheap event - the services of a good specialist are expensive. Then it might be better to restore the information yourself and buy another flash drive? It will cost several times cheaper. I hope, now you know how to restore the flash drive yourself. </ strong </ p>
