Problem with pendrive :(

#1 Post by Agusia »

Hi All :)
I've got a problem with my pendrive. I've tried to use TestDisk, but I don't know how. I've made screenshots.

Especially the screen from Deeper Search was interesting.

Would it be possible to repeat Deeper Search and check each partition and press p to list your files?
Please let me know, did you see your files or an error message?
Also on which partition did you see your data?

A short explanation about your problem woud be appreciated.
How was your pen drive formatted?
FAT32 oder NTFS?

I've been using it normally and after that, when I put it into the computer it only said that it has to be formatted.
I really don't know how it was formatted. :( I had there some space made for Xbox 360 saves.

How did you do this?
It's important to check, because I'll hope that you didn't overwrite something.
Normally pen drives are FAT32-formatted.
Currently you have a NTFS formatted drive.
Do you have some data on it?

I've put it into the Xbox 360 and choose to make a part of it as a place for saves, the rest of the pendrive was normally for use. I've made it a long time ago, there were some hidden files from Xbox on it. The Xbox files aren't so important, I've to get back the normal files because I've had my school project there. :(
