Recovery of damaged files from a flash drive
Restoring damaged files from a flash drive can be a fairly simple process if you follow a few basic steps. Here are some recommendations:
1. Connect the flash drive to the computer and make sure that it is recognized by the system.
2. Open Explorer (Windows) or Finder (Mac) to check the availability of data on the flash drive.
3. If your files are displayed as corrupted or illegible, try copying them to your computer's hard drive for later recovery.
4. Use specialized programs to restore data from a damaged flash drive.
There are various tools and software for this type of task:
– Recuva: a free program with many functions for restoring deleted files;
– PhotoRec: a free command-line tool that helps extract data from various types of information storage;
– EaseUS Data Recovery Wizard: this is a paid application with the possibility of previewing the results before paying for the license.
When using such programs, always deal only with familiar and reliable developers to avoid data loss or possible malware.
In addition, remember to prevent repeated damage to the files on the flash drive. Do not format it until you have fully checked all available data recovery methods.
