DennisD, i'm sorry but i cant seems to make this work. Actually, my flash drive just recently had the same problem as the topic starter and i'm trying out the ways to make it work again but to no avail. sorry but i'm a noob and cant get the things to work. Basically, my flash drive says boot sector not found on the recuva and its file system seems to have been changed to RAW instead of the usual ntsc or FAT. Can u by any chance help me with this?
