Last night I reformatted my computer and when I backed up all my files and applications I put them on my 16 GB Flash Voyager USB DRIVE. After installing windows I put the USB in and for some reason it corrupted it. Everytime I put the USB in and i try opening it from my computer I either get one of two errors. First one being "Please Insert Disk into drive "F". The second one seems to be the only error POPPING up now, it says.... "The Drive F is not formatted Do you want for Format now?" I don't want to format it because of all my files on there, but even if i do click format, it says "Unable to Format drive F" Is there anyway I can access this information inside the USB? Please Help!!

Thank you!!When you put it in the computer, right click the Flash Drive and go to Properties.
What is it's filesystem format? (Is it RAW or FAT or FAT32?)

When unplugging it, do you ever use Safely Remove Hardware or do you just pull it out?The file says RAW, but i dont think it used to say that before, and I usually do just pull it out... and I had put another USB shortly after that one, and it ALSO was corrupted, So I used a program called HP Formater, which formats the drive...I can do that with my 16 gb one, but I dont want to lose my data! Never just pull out your flash drive, otherwise this happens.
Spend the extra 2 seconds removing it safely via the Windows tool that sits in the system tray when you plug something in.

Anyways, try checking the drive.
Go to Tools --> Check Now and make sure there are ticks in the two check-boxes.I tried error checking but the box exits on its own when i click start. It works fine for the C drive...RAW = data gone...sorry.
You could try a freeware called Recuva .
Good Luck.There seems to be a website dedicated to "Recuva"; It is: www.recuva.com.

Suggest you look to the "Support Forum" link on their website for any assistance.

If successful in your recovery efforts, please let us know which "tool" you used.
We should have a sub-Forum TITLED RAW....

Imagine the traffic that would generate.What filesystem was this before? you didn't happen to format a Vista install and install XP, and then try to use a ExFat formatted drive...
