Hello,


I cannot open my flash drive it asked me to format it first, I don't want to lose my files s my project is included in there.....

I need your urgent help please as I do not have a sufficient time to re-write the project again.

Thank you a tone for your support.

Hi Emma

Usually, when a flash drive asks to be formated, it's because it was damaged or the files have been corrupted.

Anyway I think that your only hope is this one as USB Fix does fix many issues:

# Download USB Fix click here
  • Launch it, a shortcut will be created on your desktop.

  • Choose "Clean" option.
  • A pop-up will follow
    Connect all your external data sources to your PC (Usb keys, sd cards external drives, etc...)
  • Once you're ready, click "OK".
  • While cleaning, you will lose access to your desktop, but this is normal.
