USB Flash Drive Data Was Overwritten

#1 Post by oceanenavarro25 »

I'm trying to resolve a major issue and hope that I can do so. A family member grabbed the wrong USB flash drive and they downloaded Windows 10 ISO to it. It's a Sandisk 15GB flash drive and there was tons of room on it, but it seems like it just overwrote the data that was on it. The extremely important things on there were text docs from Windows notepad, and pictures. I'm doing my best to try to follow the TestDisk PDF, but it's a bit overwhelming. I could really use some assistance to help if possible.
