Usb Falsh Memory problem

[coucou]

Hi,

I've a JetFlash 128MB Usb Falsh Memory.

Since this morning I can't access to it although its led is ON and Windows Exlorer detect it as "Removable Disk (H:)". When i click on it, i get "Please insert a disk into drive H:" message.

Is there any how to make it working or at least to recover the data in it???

Regards

You may be able to try a program called BadCopy Pro from HERE and see if it can recover the data, if not try to format the Flash Memory Stick. If it is happening on several computers, more than likely the fat table got messed up.

EDIT: I usually keep a copy of everything that is on my Memory Stick, because if static or something cause it to be unreadable, I can just format it and recopy the stuff back onto it.

I'll try badcopy later.

Regarding Format, i right click on the flash memory (Widows Explorer) and select "Format" then [start], after few seconds i got "Windows can't execute format" message.

Is there a special format utility for a flash memory???

Maybe you will need some recovering software from the manufacturer. If you have a CD that you should have from the package where the flash memory was try searching there.

Then it should guide you to "Recover format". I think there is no "for all" recovery software, cause this there are so many usb flash disks.

@tester_pedro: You're right. I just tried Badcopy, it doesn't detect the Flash memory.

I haven't it.

have you tried to search on manufacturers web?

or give some info about the stick... (manufacturer/some identification)

or simply give this info into google

I found the manufaturer (Transcend) and downloaded the recovery tool, tested it... I got "Not support this chip!" message.

I sent an email to the manufacturer tech support.

My Usb Flash drive is: TS128MJF2B or L.

Can you run a chkdsk on it?

oh sorry my mistake

did the recovery tool give some error message?

and what about the U-Storage software? is there some function that could have (have you tried to install it?)

I thought that I could help but....

maybe the transcend forum members could... try to find help there.
