That incident alone made me lose confidence in sandisk micro-sd cards imo, and i had no receipt to change them, so they are stuck with me. I wish you best of luck in getting the files back and getting the RMA. Maybe the drive has reached end of life and is becoming corrupted. I hope you can recover most of your files. Once done, you can close recuva and examine the recovered files. Press okay, then let recuva recover all the files. IMPORTANT: WHen the prompt asks where to save recovered files, save them in any drive EXCEPT the usb drive! Otherwise you cannot recover the files! Your desktop –> Create new folder’ would be the best choice Select ALL by ticking the checkbox at the beggining of the list, and press the ‘recover’ button. Let it do it’s work! May take 30 mins to 2 hours, depending on drive.Īll recoverable files will be listed. Under actions tab, check the tick boxes for “Enable Deep Scan” and “Scan for non-deleted files”. Select the newly formatted usb drive in the drop down box, then click options. CRC fail or cannot read etc, i’m sorry…i have no other solutions than an RMA to sandisk)Ĭross fingers and say your prayers, hope your other methods you tried did not damage your files too much!ĭownload RECUVA zip file from this link to your desktop: ġ4) Extract the zip file, and run Recuva64 or Recuva.exe If there are errors reading the disk (e.g. If this works, your chance of getting the drive back is very good, and you have 1 shot at recovering the files!

Then a summary of works appears, Select next, and let disk management format the disk. If so select a drive letter than isn’t used by another drive.

Anyone have any ideas as to what the CHS values should be, or another method of fixing this drive from everything I’ve read it should be possible to fix this drive. Most of the examples out there are for HDD’s or flash drive of different sizes. The step by step guides say the next step is to try changing the sector size and then run the analyse again, but I’m not sure what to set the Cylinders Headers and Sectors to. Most forums direct me to Textdisk as an option to fix the drive but when I run the analyse it doesn’t see any partions and gives a - doesn’t have endmark 0xAA55 - error. I’ld rather not reformat the drive as I would really like to get those pictures back. So I’ve got this 16gb Cruzer Switch drive that I used to back up all my pictures from my computer before doing a format and restore It worked before I did the restore on the computer but after I reloaded the computer and tried to put the pictures back on the computer the flash drive would keep giving the windows error - “You need to format drive in disk f before you can use it.” I’ve tried all the data tools out there and all of them only see 64mb - RAW system and can’t read anything file wise on the drive. ![]()
