Can a bad flashdrive be fixed as well?

The only thing I can say is "God Bless You ".... I tried it, though it took like 3 hours instead of 30 minutes, but it worked. You just saved my 8GB SD card that i've dropped for close to 7 months.

What about cards that corrupt ur files? How do you prevent more loss of data on that card?

get a good antivirus and scan the drive.

HiDee2:

if your computer can no longer read the flash,check if it can read from another flash and if yes,i dont think memory cards are repairable.

God bless you for this thread, Though I don't wanna format my drive but here is my problem.

I have a 40gig external drive with all my life in it, but windows can't open it anymore. so many softwares exist on the internet which I have used to confirm that the files are in the drive, but I can't retrieve and save them in another device because I need to pay for the softwares. Payment mode is even difficult.

If you or anyone can send me a link to download a full free version of software to recover my files, I will really appreciate it. I have even tried "unbuntu", but it seems there are conflict issues or so.

Cos of this, I have not used my device in 6months, pls help everyone. Many thanks!

hmm....... abeg how I go take do back up for ma mem card

Nice info.

arbitrage:


What I read on a US website about such problems of memory cards is that most of them are Chinese fake products. They claimed that the advertised and displayed sizes of many of these cards are not true. So when a 2GB memory card is tampered with to display 32 or 64GB, they said it will start giving problem immediately you store flles that are more than the true 2GB space it originally has.

I have a 32GB of such SD card that has been misbehaving as unrecognized after previous use in my smartphone. When I put it in my tablet, the tablet requested reformatting, which I did and surprisingly got 2GB card size at the end but now behaving normal.

I also have such malfunctioning in my 1TB (1000 GB) USB flash drive from China. After some initial storage of files, it started malfunctioning as I stored more. Currently, anything stored inside a folder will be corrupt, whereas the files I stored directly inside the device will be okay. Nothing of such malfunction has happened to another 128 GB USB flash drive I bought from the USA.

Anyway, I am still risking the cheap Chinese products as I have ordered two SD cards again of 128GB and 256GB, hoping they will work. The 128GB is delivered already. I may try this repair method given by the op on them.

Thanks for the enlightment bro.

What a soothing relief, thanks 2u Afolabi.
