Flash disk is irremediably damage?

shadowblue · 2009-07-29 06:40:15

Hi, i have a 8GB flash disk drive that is falls in a corruption filesystem problem.

This is the problem, i think, so i try to recover data from the drive and some files are comeback to life.

But when i try to recover other data or format or part the disk the drive disappear from the system, all applications return error to read or timeout response from it.
When the driver disappear the only way is unplug it and re connect it, because the sistem don't see the drive.

I try to recover the drive on Windows, Linux and Mac OS X and the most responsive OS was Linux.

Can someone help me?
There is a hardware problem?

Yeah, sounds like hardware. Tail your logs and see if there's any useful information there when the drive "disappears".

Yeah, girlfriend will not be happy.

The dmesg | tial is this:

Yeah I had this problem when I bought a cheap usb flash drive. Worked for like a day then fdisk or Vista wouldn't reconize it anymore. Just got a 4GB from newegg that has gotten good reviews for like $12 that appears to be much better.

If you don't mind loosing the data you have inside (which may be lost already anyway) try to "recover" it with any format utility that may come inside the cd that came with the drive or check the manufacturer page for something like that (it will be a windows only program though).

But it really looks like a hardware problem.
You should also try to format/recover it in another pc with a different motherboard, sounds a bit crazy I know but trust me, once I had a flash drive that would work perfectly everywhere (that I tried at least) except on my neighbor's notebook (reading was fine, writing would fail after a short while).

Hi people!

The problem has not solved, i have try the flash drive with other pc and software to recover the disk but no appreciable result.

Thanks everyone to the help.

Last question: there is no way to force the write of superblock?
