Unreadable USB drive

Solved

Hello everyone,

I have a problem with my USB drive. This morning, I arrive at the company where I'm doing my internship, I turn on my PC, plug in my USB drive, and it opens without any issues.

I accidentally close it and then reopen it... "file not accessible. the file is corrupted or unreadable"!

What can I do to recover all the data inside? I (foolishly) didn't make any backups :s

Thank you in advance for your help! :)

    You have a list of free software here: data recovery.

    If that's not enough, try repairing your USB drive with a checkdisk
    Start / Run / cmd / OK
    type chkdsk X: /F/R (replace X with the letter of your USB drive)
    Knowing that it may not be enough...

    You may need to look for a previous version of the file (right-click or previous backup).

      Thank you, that's great it worked!!! :) A few files didn't work, but regarding what I could have lost, it's nothing to do with it! ^^

      Did the chkdsk work?
