pendrive/mp3 problem

[rickyg01]

im having a problem geting it to work in the usb drive... ive had it working before and can get other pendrives working in it at this very minute, ive tried it on other pc's and it is the same, is there any way to get the data of the device as windows does not see it?
thanks

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

it would install as a mass storage device yeah, but the problem lies there...windows is not seeing it,
any ideas?

Ive lost pen drives this way and just gave up on it. Was it a cheapo? if so 7dayshop have a unit that takes an sd card very cheap and works well

well its the information thats on it i need, it was kinda cheap yeah but never had a problem with it, got other pen drives that work fine. do you know any software or any way i could get the information of it?

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
