Does anyone know how to recover data from a dead USB flash drive?
It did work. Now nothing happens when it is plugged in - it is not recognised.

Is it plugged directly into the computer? I have found that
using a USB extension cable does not allow certain flash drives
to be recognizeable.
Never had one fail on me. I guess I should not be relying on them so much.
I have my profiles backed up on a cd somewhere.
Always try the drive on another computer. Sometimes the USB ports can get fussy
I've tried with and without cable in two different machines.
I think I may have kicked it.
My home machine is floor-standing with the front ports about an inch off the floor - stupid place for them! And the reset button is directly above - even more stupid!
:veryevil:
what about a different Operating System?
Hmm. Interesting.Quote:

Unfortunately, all my machines are running XP Pro SP2.
Try kicking it in the other direction?
