Hello,

I have been using my pendrive on two different computers and for some reason recently, when i insert it into its drive, a pop up has been coming up saying to scan and fix or not to scan and fix. i decided to click the option of scan and fix and now one of the folders cannot open! underneath it says that it has got 16 MB but when i click on it, a pop up comes up to choose a program to open the folder! does anyone know what i can do to retrieve the data in this folder? it contains work from a whole semester! (and no it isnt saved anywhere else, cause the IDIOT that i am only saved the data on the pendrive, and did not use the pendrive as a BACKUP :'( )

Hello

Try this


# Download http://www.en.usbfix.net/download/usbfix/ on your computer, and launch it.
# It will start automatically, and a shortcut will be created on your desktop.
# Connect all your external data sources to your PC (Usb keys, external drives, etc...) Do not open them.
# Choose " Deletion " option.

#The computer will re-start, and it may be longer than usually.

# UsbFix will display a message at re-start.

# Click "OK" to start cleaning.
# Copy/paste the report here.
