Hello, Something broke in my pen drive and it stopped showing as regular drive but instead it showed as 'no media', and there was no way that I could find to access it, so I've decided to format it and then recover the data. Quick formatting in windows went fine, I used standard settings FAT32, allocation unit size 4096 bytes, and then pen drive started working normally. But the problem is that I tried to recover it with all free programs, and even trials (just to see is it recoverable), but I couldn't find any program who will find even a single file. My idea is that maybe I used other file system and that makes the problem. Can anyone help me? Regards, Pawel |

Depending on the programs you used, if the scan went well and if they didn't find anything, I think your data are lost and nobody can help you.

if you use a disk imager such DMDE to take an image/clone of the whole disk, not just any partitions it might find.... and running on the image GetDataBack or r-studio doesn't find any files when told to ignore fat and search for lost files.. then I think you are S.O.L. You say the drive works, otherwise I may suggest chip off solution, but in this case I think not. |

doesn't sound good, but did you take the image of the whole disk, or partition? If the whole disk then I would say probably out of luck. If you did a partition I can only suggest retrying with the whole disk. If the Imaging process worked, it is odd not to find more if the format was only a quick format. If it was a full format, then not so odd. Attachment:

Try to look at the content of the Flash using Winhex or R-studio; if you can see data other than 00, FF or both, then there is a chance that some data is still there. Otherwise.... |

Sometimes the controller goes stupid and thinks it is a memory bar or forgets it has NAND attached. If everything else fails, send it to someone that does chip-off recovery, and has a no solution-no fee policy. It wouldn't take me long to see if the data could be recovered or not. |

Hi MrRazoR! As HaQue says most pobably your NAND controler had gone. If you need recover data you need expecializad tools to controler emulation. contact with local pro. I think in poland you have pros for this work, if not i know somebody on Russia that can help you. |
