Anyone that has ever tried to google "flash drive data recovery" or anything to that effect will notice that all you get is 10,000 results for snake oil software that may or may not produce anything useful. I know enough to know that the data is probably still on my thumb drive, it's only the had it's location lost or deleted. I just want a program that will scan an entire drive, and lump the data into what it thinks are the files on that drive. It seems like it would be a simple powershelll command or something you could do from diskpart. Whats so special about scanning the supposedly empty part of a drive for its contents that they won't make it a free utility?

Why would it be free when someone can profit off it?

 

 

If there's anything important on the drive, send it to someone who knows what they're doing.

I don't even know, I just pulled it out of my desk drawer and the file system is unreadable, it's showing a huge chunk of raw unformatted space but a lot of it is but has no drive letter assigned to it. You'd think someone would make a free utility or at least a command line option to do something with a drive like this.

I've had good results with hp's free recovery utility. Look up 'hpusbdisk.exe' It is recommended on the sandisk website and it saved my butt yesterday when I accidentally deleted 'unused space' on a pen drive and my pc no longer recognized it.
