Re: pen drive

hmm... try if it works ,,, download data recovery software from internet (download from torrent so you can get full version) and recover data from device and format it !

Re: pen drive

Try using it in different PCs.. if that does'nt work, its hard to recover data from it. You must format it 😔

Based on my personal experience, I'd suggest you as Pechu said. Try using it on different systems. Also, open the pen drive using Linux (live CD). I had faced similar problem, and I was able to open the drive from Linux.

PS: I don't know the reason.
