Hey everyone I have a quick question that is stumping me and driving my wife to tears. We purchased a new laptop for her back in August and since then it has "killed" three different model/size flash drives. She will be using the drive all day perfectly then all of a sudden the computer will not recognize or open the drive saying that it needs to be reformatted. The first time I could pop it in my work machine and get the contents off of it. This last time (last night) it wouldn't work. She has her entire school porfolio on it (due tomorrow) and some other items. None of it is irreplacible - she would just have to redo some stuff.
Here are my two questions:
Any way to get the info off of the drive without reformatting? Properties say the drive is full but that there are zero bytes on it.
Is the laptop killing these drives? Should I take it back to Costco or call the manufacturer? I read somewhere that Windows 7 home edition has been buggy with flash drives but I am in not sure where to start.......
