I know this may be a silly question, but have you tried
re-booting your PC?

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

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
