Do you have any idea that is much better? I need to fix it because I have important files in my flash drive. I really need to retrieve it. I saw that the file system is seen as RAW and is unaccessible. I tried error checking, but it requires you to format it. I tried data recovery software but all files come out corrupted. Any suggestions? You can try TestDisk free , cross-platform , and open source - it works on almost all drives on a system, regardless of whether or not the drive is internal or external.
You can use TestDisk to rewrite any partition tables found on the drive - it can even find corrupted or missing partitions and then repair the partition table. Alternatively, you can also use TestDisk to simply recover the files without repairing the partition table if you just want to format and start from scratch. I encountered the same issue just a few minutes ago. My USB flash drive was working fine at home then suddenly it was not recognized by any computers in the office.
When attempting to access it, I always get the prompt to reformat. To resolve the issue, I click "Yes" on the do you want to format prompt then closed the next window I did not click on the START button to start the format process.
Received an error stating that Windows cannot format the drive. Unplugged the drive from the USB port then plugged it again. It would show some filesystems as RAW when actually they are just not recognized, either because diskpart cannot do it, or because it didn't work, for some reason. I suggets trying GParted. It help very much but some files can't be recovered That's what I discovered when i use demo version.
Disk Genius has also worked for me in the past for somewhat corrypt partion tables fixed disks and usb flash drives. Most probably your USB device's memory unit is broken or there is problem in connection between flash memory controller IC and flash memory IC.
Operating system recognizes it as USB memory unit. However, operating system does not get any information about USB device's memory capacity, partitions, any bits from flash memory.
Also look for bad copper wires and for bad connections between wires and components. If memory IC usually biggest IC in board in board looks okay you could try to resolder it or change it to another board.
Look from google about soldering surface mounted ICs if you want to try it. Disk Drill did a decent job for me of detecting and extracting "recoverable" files. There is a limit of MB in the free version, but you can easily prune unwanted files to get within their limit [or upgrade to Pro - it is a good idea to support developers who create tools you find useful].
As a general rule, avoid using removable drives for business or personally critical files. And take regular backups of important files. It is time-consuming to do, but can usually be automated or started while you do something else. And when the inevitable disk failure does happen, those backups can turn into a lifesaver.
I have the same problems and have tried so many methods but finally this one is working. Use this software to low-level format the USB and it will remove write-protected. Do you get the same error? Are other USB devices working fine on the computer? Method 3: Format drive through DiskPart tool in command prompt. Open an elevated command prompt as suggested above. In the command prompt, type diskpart and press Enter. Next type list volume and press Enter. You may wish to use the file system fat32 in place of ntfs if you would like to use the drive with other operating systems.
Thank you. How satisfied are you with this reply? Thanks for your feedback, it helps us improve the site.
