Hi again Susan,
There are a few more things you might try before assuming that your data
is
lost:
1. Try plugging the drive in to a different USB port. It may be that
the
port connections are damaged or just dirty.
2. Select but don't open the drive in my computer and then press
alt+enter. This will open the properties of the drive. You can then use
the Jaws cursor to read the details including how much space is on the
drive
and how much is used as well as how many files and folders are on the
drive.
3. Open the drive properties as in 2 above then press control+tab until
you reach the tools tab. Now, you should be on an item which says "Check
now". This is a button which will open a dialogue to check the drive.
Check each of the items in the dialogue and press enter on start. The
checked items will try to recover bad sectors automatically.
Many flash drives have a light which only flashes while data is being
transferred to or from them so the fact that your drive's light went off
is
not necessarily significant.
I hope that some of this helps.
Regards,
Phil Medway

Hi Susan,
If you open My computer from the desktop, do you find the drive there in
the
list?
If so, select it, press the applications key and cursor down to an item
which is called something like "open removable drive" and press enter.
If you don't find your pen drive in the list, try pressing f5 to refresh
the
list.
If none of this works, come back to the list and we'll have to think
again.
Regards,
Phil Medway

Subject: [jaws-uk] pen drive
Hi folks,
as I do every day I put my pen drive in to my computer and hey presto
nothing, it just says removal drive 0 items, it doesn't even give it the
name I called it on the shortcut on the desk top.
what could have happened? is it corrupted?
best wishes
Susan
