Images of errors + my system specs (http://imgur.com/a/xJfoT)
I had a Cruzer Switch (Sandisk) 8GB USB, almost full with videos and whatnot, when I decided to lend it to a friend. The friend used it normally, and it worked for him, but when I got it back and replugged it into my computer, it was completely wrecked, with the following errors:
1. The name had changed from "Billy's USB" to "Firebird6Up9"
2. The partition went from 8GB (forgot if it was FAT or NTFS) to 64MB RAW
3. I can no longer access the drive without Windows telling me to format it, however, neither Windows nor CMD with elevated privileges can format it.
4. When I do try to use it without formatting, it says the volume does not contain a recognized file system.
I have tried this on multiple PCs, none of which it works on. I have tried formatting/recovering it with Disk Management, CMD, KillDisk, and EaseUS softwares, none of which work.
I know it was stupid to lend it to a friend, but I'm going to take his word that he used it properly. Maybe he didn't eject it before unplugging it? Let's just assume he didn't put a virus on it intentionally.
Could anybody please help? (please let me know if this issue has already been posted)
Thanks, Billy
