USB Flash drive recovery help, please!

My laptop is not recognising my flash drive anymore! [Scandisk 8GB]
Tried with different systems ......no luck!

Any help how to recover this, even if I will endup with losing the data?

Apparently this was unplugged from the system [without going through safe mode removal] Does this matter?

Please help........:o

  • Hi, Is the Scandisk USB connector loose or been sat on?

    Err why you want to recover AND lose the data ??

    Can be removed but if writing to device at the time you do risk loss of a file but not all..

    There are several free recovery programs to help.
