Hi,

I have 128MB and 1GB USB flash manufacturer not printed. Both after virus scan were working ok but suddenly stop working and showing RAW format. I can't format any way. Both device shows normal and connecting - disconnecting but file system is missing.

How can I fix this in absence of any support discs / software.

Thanks
Dave RP

I have the same problem. I have a HP desktop with windows xp and another hardrive hooked up via usb. it was NTFS then yesterday all of a sudden in windows explorer it the size of the drive wasn't showing up and when I clicked on the drive it asked me if I want to format of course I said no as I didn't want to lose all my music files and programs and the it showing up as RAW I have no idea what caused this I had it enclosed in an external hard drive case and I thought maybe something was wrong with that but I used a different hard drive in it and it was working fine. someone mentioned trying active partition recovery for windows I don't know if it works but it's worth a shot. I hope you are able to fix your problem

can't access data on my usb mass storage

Hello,

I have a 500GB Western Digital usb mass storage device with lots of data on it, and I have been using it without problems for several months. Now when I plug it in, the drive comes up in my computer as drive E as it usually does, but when I click it it asks me if I want to format it-when I click "no" I can't access the drive. If I format it again won't I lose all my files? The drive properties show 0kb for free space and 0kb for used space. What happened to the 300+ GB of files I stored on the drive? Is there another way to access the data on the drive? Thanks in advance for the help!
