sth_txs Posted June 11, 2009 Share Posted June 11, 2009 I have a flash drive that is found by Windows and if using Linux only shows up in the devices. It is identified by both operating systems as a US Best USB2 flash storage device. I believe what happened is that I was trying to load a PDF file that was too large and had exit out of the program. Somehow, something became corrupted. It indicate 0 bytes available even though it is a 2GB flash drive. I did not delete or do anything else to the flashdrive. Is it possible to reformat the flash drive and then recover data? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CTskifreak Posted June 12, 2009 Share Posted June 12, 2009 I would try to use Recuva on it. Do a deep scan with it and try to pull your files off of it. It will be harder to recover the drive once you format it. AJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I select the usb drive and press scan. 'Scan in progress briefly flashes' and then it says 'the parameter is incorrect'. I was wonder if there some linux/bash tricks to do this.
