The USB drive may have been a victim of ESD. Electric Static Discharge. \n\nJohn\nA+ Certified Professional

Yes, but if you've already written over the sectors where the data was stored, it's most likely beyond doing it yourself. STOP using the drive immediately and you may still be able to recover some data. There is a free data recovery program called Zero Assumption Recovery that you can try. Another program called Getdataback For NTFS ($100) is a better option than a freeware program.

Almost any file can be restored. Try searching Yahoo! or Google for "Download Free Data Recovery Software" (without quotes) or go here http://www.soft32.com/download_7508.html\n\nSearch for part of the subject and it should come up eventually

check the cables and power. those are the most likely culprits, especialy if the computer has been moved or jarred.  failing that go into bios and see if the computer recognizes the hard drive as there and can read it.  if you need files from it, attach it as a slave and see if you can access it....if not its probably a screwed pooch from a virus and needs to be replaced.

You might try BadCopy. I don't know that it is free but I'm sure there some programs like it on the web. \n\nBadCopy will dig anything off of your disk (even deleted files). Still, I wouldn't pay for something you will rarely use.

Assuming it is/was on your harddrive, this should get you started: http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=data+recovery  If not, you're out of luck.

Sometimes utility programs can do a good job recovering the data.\n\nbad copy pro works well for me

Put the USB drive into the port on the computer\nYou will see a new device under "My Computer" with a letter.  Maybe E or F\nDrag the file there, or do a file/save there.
