Recovery of a flash drive after unsuccessful formatting
Flash drives can be restored after unsuccessful formatting, but it depends on how the formatting was done and how damaged the data is.
Here are some ways to restore a flash drive:
1. Using data recovery programs: There are many free and paid programs that help you recover deleted or lost files from flash drives. Some of these programs are Recuva, EaseUS Data Recovery Wizard, and TestDisk.
2. Checking the disk through the command line (Windows): In Windows, you can use the chkdsk tool to check the integrity of the system file on your flash drive. Open a command prompt (cmd) as an administrator and run the following command:
chkdsk X: /f
Replace the “X” with the drive letter of your flash drive.
3. Formatting using another operating system: If you use Windows, try connecting your flash drive to a Mac or Linux computer and perform the formatting process through these operating systems.
4. Contact professional data repair service centers for help: If all the above methods did not help, you can contact specialists at data repair service centers. They have professional equipment and experience with similar problems.
It is important to note that when trying to restore a flash drive after formatting, there is always a possibility that the data will be lost forever. Therefore, before performing any actions on your flash device, it is recommended to create a full copy of it to prevent possible information loss.
