Data recovery from a broken flash drive
Restoring data from a broken flash drive can be quite a difficult process, but in most cases the data can be successfully retrieved. Here are some steps that can help:
1. Checking on other devices: First, try to connect the flash drive to different USB ports on the computer or even to another computer to check its performance.
2. Using specialized programs: There are a number of free and commercial software (for example, Recuva or EaseUS Data Recovery Wizard) designed to restore deleted files from damaged drives.
3. Manual correction of the problem: If for some reason the program does not recognize your flash drive or you receive an error message when you try to open its contents through Windows explorer/file manager Mac OS X/Linux, it is possible to use the chkdsk command line tool (Windows) or fsck (Mac).
4. Contacting the service center: If all these methods do not give results and the information is very important, it is best to seek help from professional experts at a service center specializing in data recovery.
It is important to remember that if you try to repair the flash drive yourself, you can cause even more damage and lose the data permanently. Therefore, it is always better to contact professional experts for maximum protection of your information.
