Hello. My flash drive went crazy. Partitions are wiped out. There are no entries inside MBR partition table. MBR signature is set to 4A55. It reports 4 GB capacity to Windows' XP Logical Disk Manager. It reports 8,388,605 logical sectors to DMDE. I contacted ADATA service support but they just told me that my flash drive is defective and I should swap it for a new one. However, they didn't mention a thing about data recovery, and I need my data very badly! Any suggestions? ptrkmj |

I forgot to mention that every logical sector has the same content as sector 0, that is: http://i55.tinypic.com/2heysg6.png |

Need to read Nand's chips dirrectly via Flash-reader. If your data is very important, contact with Data Recovery experts near you for help. |

The cost and time / training that is required is way too high for a single case. You should consider somebody who already has the right tools and skills |

Cost of NAND reader - $210 2. Cost of software - $1870 3. Learning of how to use it - 3 months absolute minimum Frankly if you care more for warranty on a $40 device than the data, then I don't think so!! |
