jaclaz Posted June 22, 2009 Share Posted June 22, 2009 buit please suggect me a specific other tool to use.What the heck? I did suggest you TWO utilities, then a post where the same TWO+another TWO=FOUR are suggested.WHEN you will have tried ALL FOUR of them, without success, do what ALREADY posted:IF nothing of the above works:Choose one, and only one of your sticks.Get Hdhacker and save the MBR (first sector of PhysicalDrive) and bootsector (first 16 sectors of Logicaldrive if NTFS, just one if FAT16 or FAT32):Compress the two files together and attach the archive.If needed, specific instructions:TRY, one at the time, the apps listed in this post:http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showto...87993&st=17in the same order they were given AND keeping in mind the "general advice" given in FAQ #10:http://home.graffiti.net/jaclaz:graffiti.n...SB/USBfaqs.htmlSTOP the first time one of them works.TRY variations using the SAME app that worked.jaclaz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You better read his replies to you in full, perform ALL steps, then if still no luck provide the files mentioned in his posts. All this should be done in a new topic, as it goes way beyond what this topic is about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
