Hi guys,
I hope everything goes well with you, although it did not went well for me
My stick memory works fine until yesterday which suddenly closed. I have really important data which I need them. I search a lot , no luck, and I hope someone help me on this issue here,
I tried ubuntu, Mac and windows 7 to open it but non of them was able to detect my usb. I am using ubuntu and other usb works fine, but it was not able detect this one, consequently it must be something wrong with my usb.
please kindly see what I did based on searching different forums,
1: (my usb is plugged in)

I really need my usb data, and I really appreciate your help,
I hope some one can tell me how I can restore my lost data,
All the best,
