I am having a big trouble with my USD drive. I had been using it normally in my computer (Windows) for a few days with no problem. One day I unplugged safely and took it to a frined's house, but didn't use it. When I was back home, I tried using it but Windows wouldn't recognize it, and was prompting to format the direv (which I of course did not do).
I started searching the internet for solutions and found TestDisk to be a good option for me. So first I followed the "Step by Step Tutorial" and then searched for similar problem in the forum. I ended up with no solutiones, so I did a Log of exactly what I did and I am posting it here for help. Also, some screenshots for visual aid.
THANKS IN ADVANCED for anything thing anyone might think of to help!
