Restoring data from a Kingston flash drive
Restoring data from a Kingston flash drive can be a fairly simple process if you do not have serious damage to the drive. Here are some steps you can try:
1. Connect the flash drive to the computer and check its visibility in Explorer or Task Manager (on Windows) or Finder (on Mac). If it is displayed there, then there is a good chance of a successful recovery.
2. Use standard tools of the operating system to scan and correct errors on the flash drive:
– For Windows: Right-click the USB Flash Drive -> Properties -> Tools -> Check.
– For Mac: Open the “Disk” program from the “Utility” folder, select your flash file on the left and then click “Check”.
3. If the proposed methods did not help restore access to the data, you can use specialized software to restore files from deleted/formatted partitions:
– Recuva
- EaseUS Data Recovery Wizard
– Disk Drill
4. Seek help from the professional services of a data recovery center if the data on the flash drive is of critical importance to you or you cannot solve the problem yourself.
It is important to remember that when trying to restore data from a damaged drive, there is always a risk of further deterioration and loss of information. Therefore, before starting the process, create a backup of all available files on another storage (computer hard disk or cloud storage).
