How to Recover Files from Pen Drive
Pen drive brings us unpredictable risk as well as great convenience. We are always accustomed to save our handy files in a pen drive instead of in a computer. Especially for travelling bussinessmen, it's a very convenient and safe way to take data along. However, pen drives also make data loss due to some known and unknow reasons.
Reasons for pen drive data lost:
1. Error: "The Drive F: has not been formatted, do you want to format it now?"
2. Accidentally deleting files and folders or formatting the drive
3. Unexpected power down while plugging in computer
4. Not "Safely remove hardware" in Windows
5. Virus attack
6. Frequently use
7. More unknown reasons
Is pen drive recovery possible?
Yes! You can recover data from pen drive easily. As a matter of fact, lost files are still somewhere on your pen drive but inaccessible, no matter you delete, format or lost them due to other reasons. The space that lost files occupy is marked as reusable to tell the system that the place can be used to store new data. Thus, as long as you haven't written new data in, the lost files would be still there and you can recover them.
Keep in mind: If you lost vital files from your pen drive, do not save any more data to your pen drive to avoid the lost files being overwritten.
