I've had a usb pen for a year now and all of a sudden it isnt recognised. I have tried it on 3 other pcs and its the same. Does anyone know if theres any hope of getting the data back off it as its important. Is it a regular thing for this to happen to usb pens?
Thanx

Is it not recognised at all or is it that the data can't be seen on it any more?
If it's just that the data can't be seen then you might have a chance of using data recovery software to get the information.
I'd say that if it isn't being recognised then there is a good chance it's wrecked.The power of accurate observation is commonly called cynicism by those who have not got it.0 -
