You cannot "repair" them ... try a different USB port ... if it happens in all ports you have a knackard driver.

Sorry. :(

If it cannot be seen, then you are out of luck.

Sorry. :(

If the 'data' is priceless to you then you may wan't to try a "data recovery" company such as Disklabs ... they ain't cheap.

Have you tried it on another PC? Could be a problem with your USB ports?

USB Data Recovery!!

I had the same thing happened to me few months ago, my USB pen drive was showing as unformatted each time I connect to my PC, I have ended with sending it to a data recovery company called (Data Recovery Direct) , their quote was the cheapest among all but still cost me about £120! www.drduk.com

I try to back-up all data even that on removable storage, if it's critical data i do it daily. Mainly as when my PC was new it had a habit of crashing daily, so i got used to doing it.
