You might try the following:
Go to your device manager---->Double click USB Host Controller----> go to driver tab-----> Uninstall all drivers--->

This procedure will remove any problem you may have caused by incorrect removal of the USB plug. It will not fix a failed hard drive.

Good Luck

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!
