Update 1:
Windows 7
I plugged in my USB, herd the sound to show that it was connected. but when I opened my computer, it wasn't there! when I take it out again, it also plays the jingle as well. It is normally in drive F. When I checked the safety remove, it wasn't there
I then trued it on my laptop, which yielded slightly better results. It showed my drive F as soon as i plugged it in, but when I clicked it, it just said "insert disk into removable disk (F
" When i opened the properties, it showed that there was no used space and no free space either. When I plug it in, a thing at the bottom will say, driver software detected. (or something like that) When I click for more details, it says that the USB has installed correctly. Also, drive F was in the safety remove.
I checked with a friends laptop which runs Windows 8 and it had the exact same results as the first one, also with the declaration, that it had successfully installed.
There are a lot of important things in that USB, and if there is no good solutions, can someone recommend a non-dodgy English recovery software that I could use to get my items back?
Thanks for your time!
Update 2:
OH yeah, and it was working perefctly fine that morning.
Update 3:
Ok, I am starting to suspect this is some sort of virus. Recently, I got another perfectly fine USB and plugged it into this computer. I used it a few times, and it worked fine, and then, it suffered the exact same problem as the first one. (This time, I backed it up. I learnt my lesson before) New question: Does anyone know what virus this could be? And is there a free non-dodgy english virus scanner which will fix this for me?
Something else to note is that I do have snapdo (yes, that annoying homepage hijacker thing) that I can't disintall. Despite many websites saying that I should, I can't find it in my programs in control panel.
I also recently also moved my computer to a new spot. Would the reconnecting of some wires have something to do with this?
Thanks again
