USB disk recovery
Recovery of the USB drive may be necessary if it has become inoperable or the data on it has been damaged. Here are some steps that can help you in this process:
1. Check the connection: Make sure that your USB drive is properly connected to the computer and that all connections are secure.
2. Use a second port/cable: If you have the opportunity, try using a second USB port or replace the cable to check if the drive works with the new conditions.
3. Restart the computer: Sometimes restarting the computer can solve temporary problems with device recognition.
4. Drivers and system updates: Update the drivers for the USB controller and the operating system to the latest versions through the Device Manager menu or the official website of the OS developer.
5. Disk formatting:
– Go to My Computer (My Computer) / This comment applies only to Windows.
– Right-click on the icon of your USB drive.
– Select the “Format” option.
– Select the file system and click "Start".
6. Use specialized software: If the problem cannot be solved by standard methods, you can use a data recovery program or a disk formatting utility.
It is important to remember that following these steps you may lose data on the USB drive. Therefore, before starting the process, make a backup copy of all the necessary files.
If all other requests are unsuccessful, your USB drive may be physically damaged and needs to be replaced.
