Corrupted Flash drive

freaksavior · Apr 15, 2010, 01:46 AM

My flash drive is corrupted from 1gb to 8mb it says raw. How do i fix this?

I need it back, i had my homework on it. I know it will delete the data, but i can do data recovery.

Solaris17 · Apr 15, 2010, 08:04 PM

freaksavior · Apr 15, 2010, 08:05 PM

then your going to need a 3rd party format tool. and I dont mean seatools etc. Youll need something like deriks boot and nuke.

freaksavior · Apr 15, 2010, 08:30 PM

Alright, i'll try that. Thanks solaris.

Solaris17 · Apr 15, 2010, 08:37 PM

NP man lmk and ill find more programs if necissary.

Dyno · Apr 15, 2010, 09:06 PM

Can't you just use Windows "error checking" and make sure you check the box for "Scan for and attempt recovery for bad sectors"? I remember when i use to work downtown we'd get so many users with problems with their 1.44Mb floppy disks and i would just use Windows Error checking utility and it would read the diskette just fine after that. hmm....

Note: Besides why can't you people ever post with details in your statements? Like i have a 2Gb Corsair blah blah blah, and just couple of days ago i noticed that it wasn't reading it through the usb port and i've tried this and this (which you have and i'm surprised) or something....

freaksavior · Apr 15, 2010, 09:55 PM

I got it formatted but it didn't find the file.

i know it was on this flash drive.

Oh well.... guess thats a 0 i get.

"you" people? Alot of us do it because we understand what someone is talking about. If we need more info we ask for it. We read enough of each others post to be able to fill in the details. For example if he made a thread a week ago about his ports flaking out and then made this. I probably wouldnt tell him to format because a surge probably killed it. Don't judge us on YOUR personal preference please go take a seat over their.

freaksavior · Apr 15, 2010, 10:10 PM

Data Rescue 3 on mac

Solaris17 · Apr 15, 2010, 10:14 PM

hm try using recuva or something on the windows one. I have a really sweet file recovery program unforunetly my desktop is down So i dont have access to a name.

robn · Apr 15, 2010, 10:21 PM

TestDisk should be able to resurrect partitions, though it may be too late now you've reformatted (i.e. created a new partition over the top).

PhotoRec from the same open source project can recover more than 320 file types from disk space, so you may be in luck there.

If you have any trouble using them (if ya give them a go) shout back.

freaksavior · Apr 15, 2010, 11:58 PM

yeah, neither of the programs found anything.

thats 4 programs, i guess its not recovering it.

Solaris17 · Apr 16, 2010, 12:01 AM

gah im sorry bro :/ that sucks

95Viper · Apr 16, 2010, 12:35 AM

Try Roadkil's Undelete, or even better, Roadkil's Unstoppable Copier from the same guy: Roadkil.net

Goodluck

EDIT: Try this, too; if is not to late:SoftPerfect File Recovery

zsamz_ · Apr 16, 2010, 06:05 AM

Looks like you may have overlooked a post. He already got it formatted.

LagunaX · Apr 16, 2010, 06:56 AM

Oh yeah - wasn't clear if he got it formatted correctly.
I had a 4gb usb flash that was stuck at 2gb until i reformatted with the HP USB tool.
