HI GUYS,I NEED HELP,MY COMPUTER CAN NOT DETECT MY USB FLASH DRIVE,CAN ANYONE HELP PLIZ I HAVE IMPORTANT INFO IN MY FLASH DRIVE.am using windows xp PROFESSIONAL. It started last week.i tried to check it on other computers still i get the same problem.i also tried device manager but nothing is showing.is there anything i can do to recover my data atleast?We need more information, Please look here.

Also, does it work on another computer?

Oh yeah, please turn off CAPS.  am using windows Xp pro.The flash drive used to be detected just fine till last week.i tried to use device manager to check if its detected but its not ther.I tried to use other computers thinking that mayb its my computer with the problem but still same problem.Anything i can do?So it doesn't work on any other computers?

Are you sure there is nothing in Device Manager?

Do you remember doing anything to the drive before this happened? (software or hardware related, or even dropping it)

We might have to face the possibility it is lost forever...i usually put it in ma back pockect because it does not have a string to tie around my neck.somebody TOLD me with a bootup disk everything is possible, can i try it? or is there anyother third party software that i can use to recover data from it atleast?

I'm afraid, if the Flash Drive cannot be detected by the Computer, you can't do anything with the contents of the drive.

I know there is a company that specializes in data recovery (from broken USB Drives/Hard Disks/ect... But it MAY be a bit expensive.Do u THINK with linux i cnt gt my in4 bck
Wait, do you think you can what with you Linux??

If the drive cannot be detected in Windows, I don't think Linux will help much.

From what you've told me so far, Windows doesn't even know the USB Drive is attached to the USB port. This is probably due to a faulty USB Drive.ok thanx alot,hav a nice day.Sorry for your LOSS.
