HDD GURU FORUMS

hi
i have problem on my USB stick SANSISK titanium 4 GB, when i insert this drive to computer, it detected by computer but windows asked me to formated the drive, i need the data so i don't formated the drive. i try to recover data by my self with software recovery but it don't help and show zero data... i also checked with winhex and contents are zero....is still possible to recover data from this drive or there something wrong with this hardware? please any advice

thx

i think your file is corrupted..

cant recover your files..

Sounds like the secure erase function has been triggered.
Especially as it asks you to format it, did you have it password protected?

its is detected as 4GB? might be controller failure.

yes it have password protector.... and detected as well 4 GB, i got 2 sandisk drive with same condition... i think it could be controller problem, if i read the memory the data was encrypted

Check it with ChipGenius. Then go to http://flashboot.ru/ and find software for your pendrive.
