#3

thanks but i still need help

#4

Have you tried plugging your flash drive into another computer to see if it works there?

#5

no but all the other memory sticks work fine on my pc

#6

I suggest you try plugging the drive into other ports on your computer and plugging it into another computer. If the drive isn’t recognized at all in any computer, then there’s nothing you can do to retrieve those files yourself.

i dont mind if i lose the contents of the mp3 but i just wont it to work.

it just suddenly turned off a few days ago and wouldnt turn back on.

iv also heard that theres a software that reads whats on the usb stick even if its not working, is that true?

If there is, I’d like to know. But, I had the same problem and posted on several other tech forums and the verdict was: when they go, they’re gone. nothing you can do about it. Lucky they are dirt cheap these days, but the data is lost.

so what your saying is that my mp3 player is completely lost and theres no hope of of ever useing it?

Yes, afraid so. If no computer recognizes the drive and it doesn’t play, it is probably shot. How long have you had it? Maybe you can send it back.

and im reallly determined to to find a way to fix it >_<

You don’t seem to want to accept the inevitable. Most likely nothing can be done, like we said, so that is why you aren’t getting any responses. The only thing I can say it to call the manufacturer’s tech support. Maybe if you mail it to them they can retrieve your data for you, but I doubt it and I’ll bet it’ll cost you if they can.

I think it is late to reply now, but it may help other guys googling around here, Yeah i have alreeady done this, I still remember when one of my computer teachers told that they have just erased computer paper from the flash drive, and i recovered it later to find out what is beeing asked next day in paper :), well that was then, You must get getDataBack and have an excessive scan it will give you whatever you want from a formated,deleted flash drive! thanx
