usb memory stick

Hi,

Yesterday I lost access to my memory stick. The computer just stopped recognizing the contents, and I got a windows message: "The volume did not contain a recognized file system. Please make sure that all required file system drivers are loaded and that the volume is not corrupted.

A friend told me to try recuva, but I haven't had any luck with it. Recuva says: "Unable to read boot sector"

Any help/suggestions? is everything lost?

Doesn't sound promising with the boot sector error.

I know some people have had success when facing this problem by using TestDisk. Worth a try anyway.
