Howdy all,
So I have this 4gig A-data flash drive. I keep a lot of stuff on it, like portable thunderbird, and some animation files.
So the other day, I'm copying a file to it from my mac, and the copy just froze at 0%. I had to reboot the mac to get the finder working again. But after a reboot, the mac won't see the drive *at all* -- not in the finder, not with disk utility, not with TechTool Pro. The only way you'd know it was plugged in would be to look at the system profiler.
So I stuck it in an WinXP box, which recognized the 'removable disk E:' as soon as I plugged it in, but wouldn't let me open or format it. It just kept asking me to 'insert a disk in drive E:' when I clicked on the drive. Weird, huh?
Is there any hope for me to be able to salvage the drive and (more importantly) my data? I'd hate to lose all my email and stuff. Since the system profiler sees it, I'm hoping there might be some unix tools that will get me into the disk.
Thanks for any help
