Restoring information from a flash drive
Restoring information from a flash drive may be necessary if data on it has been deleted or lost due to file system errors or device damage. Here are some steps you can take to request data recovery:
1. Connect the flash drive to the computer and check its presence in Explorer (Windows) or Finder (Mac). Sometimes the problem may be related only to the disk display.
2. If your computer sees the flash drive, but you cannot access the data, try using another USB port or connect it to another computer.
3. If this is a software problem with the file structure or file system on the flash drive, you can use specialized data recovery software such as Recuva (https://www.ccleaner.com/recuva), TestDisk & PhotoRec (http://www. cgsecurity.org/wiki/TestDisk_Download).
4. For more complex cases of a damaged hard disk, I recommend seeking the help of a professional data recovery laboratory
5. If all other methods are unsuccessful and the data is very valuable, the services of a commercial data recovery company may be useful. They have specialized equipment and experience to solve complex cases.
It is important to remember that the success of recovery depends on many factors, such as the degree of damage to the device or overwriting of data on it after deletion. Therefore, it is always better to take action if possible immediately after losing information and not to write new data to the flash drive before requesting its restoration
