Alright , it's completely not detecting or it is detecting but no data is shown?

And are you sure it's not a hardware fault ? Like a damaged pen drive or something.

Confirm this before we proceed.

PS - Also try and check the same pen drive in someone else's computer if you get time and post the result here.

^ i'm guessing that by keeping in wallet and driving bike etc the USB header has got damaged. You might not see it, but some circuitry inside may have come lose. Now that can be replaced, but you said that you need the data fast so keep trying different options...changing ports, different PC, praying, something

^^ See , as you mentioned earlier that other pen drive's and everything else work as it should , that definitely means that your PD is faulty. It's got nothing to do with either your usb ports / windows or anything else. As for the data i'm not sure. You may try USB data recovery software's and if your luck is good you may end up recovering the data. I'll list some of them in a while.

I remember recovering data for my brother of an MP3 Player which had a similar problem.

^^ Sad. Good luck with it , also show it to a hardware repair guy , someone might be able to fix it up. No limit to jugar's in India but only if you want to get the data back else get it replaced.

Hi ,

Here You Go ....

1 :The Drive Itself is Not Detected right ? OR Has The Drive Had a Logical Failure ,cos f Its a Logical Error its Easy To USe a DR Software And Get The Same Done .

2 :Lets Assume That You Have Had a Physical Error Means Circuit ot The Main Controller Is Gone ,In That Case Open The Drive And Repair The Circuit Or If The circuit is OK Then We Need To Do Recovery of The USB Flash NAND Drive Controller .

3 :pM Me If You Need any Kinda Assistance and Do Tell Me Where You Are Currently Located At
