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!

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.

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 Жыл бұрын
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 You can also try updating or reinstalling USB drivers on your computer, as outdated or corrupted drivers can cause issues with USB devices.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.

Chicken and Egg: USB is un-recognised and displays no Drive Letter. Just gets rejected and does not display on 'This PC' or in 'Disk Management'. So how do you do it then? All the Tutorials assume you can see a Drive Letter/the USB, which simply issues a Yellow rejection notice near the Tray. A CMD command might work, but again all the 'solutions' assume a Drive Letter is known.
