My 2GB Memorex flash drive all of a sudden stopped working. I can't view the files. I've tried 2 different computers. There's no lock on the drive. From Windows Explorer, if I select the drive, it says "Please insert a disk into drive F." Properties shows file system as Raw and 0 bytes used and 0 bytes available. Running chkdsk from Windows Explorer doesn't work. Running chkdsk from a command prompt says "access denied." Windows recognizes the drive as a USB mass storage device, but I can't see the files.
Did I loose everything on my flash drive? Is there a program that can recover the files? Can I send it to somebody to recover the files? I guess I should have backed up the files once a week or something like that. The drive is only about 1.25 years old. I use it on average several times a day.
