"Flash Drive Volume RENAMED on MacIntosh" <Flash Drive Volume RENAMED on
(e-mail address removed)> wrote in message
I handed my college class assignment on a flash drive from IBM PC to
professor who decided to RENAME the volume on his MacIntosh computer.
Now, I
can't access any of the files. The Windows XP no longer recognizes the USB
device.
Is there a way to salvage the files?
Give it back to whoever mucked it up and ask him to copy the files to a CD
or something that you can read on your computer. Or have him print them out
and start typing. Or find someone else with a Mac and have them try to see
if your files are still there. It might not be that he changed anything, but
that the drive got damaged with all the handling and whatever he did to it.
Ya never know, he could have had the drive in his pants pocket when it went
through the wash.
In the future, you might want to avoid handing people your only copy of
anything, and avoid handing people devices that can be changed or damaged so
easily. Too late for that now, but it's certainly something to think about.
