Hello. So recently was trying to recover some data from flash drive and photorec asked to unformat that flash drive to FAT32 i agreed but there was no output. Still everything was fine. After that i've tried to recover something again and this time photorec told me "Create an image_remaining.dd (some numbers here MB) file with the unknown data (Answer N if not sure) (Y/N)" pressed Y and seemed it just freezed. Pressed Y and N a couple of times then it closed leaving me with "image_remaining.dd" file on disk which is 4.70 GB. Flash drive became transparent in windows(7) with "Please insert a disk into Removable Disk (G:)" error message when trying to open it and none of the programs can see it. Can something be done to make flash drive work as it were? Already tried cgsecurity.org/wiki/Image_Creation with dd on windows but i get this
C:\recover>dd if=C:\recover\image_remaining.dd of=\\.\G:
rawwrite dd for windows version 0.6beta3.

If it makes sense here is photorec options:
Paranoid : Yes (Brute force disable)
Keep corrupted files : No
Expert mode : Yes
Low memory : No

Using rawwrite wasn't a good idea, image_remaining.dd must not be written back to a media.
Your USB disk is probably too damaged to be reused anyway.
Please check the recovered files.
