Restoring broken files from a flash drive

Restoring broken files from a flash drive can be a difficult task, but there are several methods that you can try.

1. Check the state of the flash drive: Make sure that the problem is really in the files on the flash drive and not related to the device itself. Connect the second flash drive to the computer or use programs to check the integrity of the data (for example, H2testw).

2. Use antivirus software: Your flash drive may have been infected by malicious code or an encryption program. Run a full system scan and remove all detected threats.

3. Use specialized programs for data recovery: There are many tools for recovering lost files from damaged data drives.
– Recuva
- PhotoRec
– TestDisk

4. Contact professional data repair services: If you do not have certain knowledge about the operation of the software or if the data is very important, it is best to contact data repair/restoration experts.

At the same time, try not to overwrite the data on the flash drive to increase the chances of a successful recovery.
