My USB drive (256mB) is playing up.

It was working fine, i removed it to access it on another computer and it asked me to reformat drive and wont let me access my files. I really need some files off this drive as they are for a school assingment and my only copies are on the drive.

Please Help.

if you formatted the drive then all of the files are gone, if you haven't put anything on it you may be able to recover the files

 
I'm out of bed and dressed, what more do you want?

I always take life with a grain of salt, ... a slice of lemon, ...and a shot of tequila

I used to have an open mind but my brains kept falling out

One more step to enlightenment ... but which way ?

Sounds like the drives file system has corrupted you may have to reformat the drive to make it useable again, but i would be wary of putting vip files on that drive again...
