Take it it installs as a mass storage device and just shows up in my comp as a disk? if so ,try to run scan disk on it . If that fails try reformatting but remember the drive will lose all data

Re: pendrive/mp3 problem

well the problem is windows isnt seeing the drive so all the data recovery software ive used needs to at the very least be able to see the drive. Im not saying software does not exist but I dont know of it sorry
