32 GB Flash drive showing as 64MB RAW
Posted: 11 Oct 2020, 00:27
Ran into an issue with a Sandisk 32GB Karona drive. Wife unplugged the drive from the computer without ejecting first and now on any computer that I insert the drive it returns the msg that it needs to be formatted. When I look in Disk Management, the drive is showing a total size of 64 MB. Attempted to use TestDisk and PhotoRec but both return that there is no partition available on the disk. I have made a .dd and .img backup of the corrupted drive, but have run out of ideas on how to get to the data or get the drive back to it's allocated size so that I can attempt to run data recovery SW.
What I have tried:
Chkdsk - Cannot run on RAW
Testdisk - Cannot find any partition to restore
Phototrec - Cannot find any partition / files
Diskpart - Does not show the drive as 32 GB capacity, shows as 64 MB
Write .img backup of drive to another USB (same Size) and re-format (Quick) - Repeat 2 + 3 with no files found
