I have a Freecom Data-bar 512 mb USB stick, USB 2.0 flash storage device.
Until recently it worked perfectly. Since a few days it shows up in
Explorer, as removable storage (I guess that's the translation of the Dutch
"Verwisselbare schijf", but when I select the drive I get the error "There
is
no disk in the drive. Please insert a disk into drive" ("Dutch: plaats een
schijf of een ander geschikt medium in station ...").
I tried it on 4 different computers, all the same error. Win XP, Win XP Pro,
so drivers shouldn't be needed (and have never been, since the usb stick
worked fine before).
In the Control Panel, no error, the stick should work.
I tried several data recovery programs, but the usb stick just isn't
accessable.
Is there anayway to retrieve the data on the disk?
Thanks in advance for your reply.
PS1: returning the stick to the vendor isn't an option, since it was a gift
and don't know where it was bought.
PS2: I already emailed Freecom Data-bar, but no answer so far.
