Flash memory recovery
Restoring data from a flash drive can be a difficult task, but in some cases, you can try to perform several actions to increase the chances of a successful recovery.
1. Check the connection: Make sure the flash drive is properly connected to the computer or other device. Use different USB ports and check if they work correctly.
2. Use another computer/port: If your flash drive is still not recognized, try using it on another computer or USB port.
3. Restore the file system: Formatting can help correct file system errors and restore access to data on the flash drive (it is important to note that formatting will delete all data). For this:
– Find your device in “My Computer” (Windows) or Finder (Mac).
– Right-click on the device name and select the “Format” option.
– Select the desired file type FAT32 / NTFS / exFAT
4. Use specialized software:
If you still encountered problems when reading information from a flash drive, you can use specialized data recovery software. Some of the popular tools:
– Recuva
- EaseUS Data Recovery Wizard
– Disk Drill
5. Contact a professional service center: If all the above methods did not help, then perhaps your flash drive is damaged or has a hardware problem. In this case, it is best to seek help from a professional data recovery company.
It is important to note that when working with damaged drives, there is a risk of losing data permanently, and further access may be limited or impossible.
