my thumb drive is telling me that it needs to be formated before I can use it, but it was working before and it has files on it that I was accessing without a problem, now it is requesting to be formated and I know if do I will loose the data on the drive. what can I do to get the data of the drive?

I tried restoring my files using zero recovery assumption version 9, and it restored the first part of the drive but did not get to the essential drives I was looking for. I need to know if there is another solution that I can use or if there is a better way to recover the files. I have tried checkdisk, and repair and that did not fix the problem, it said it could not view the file because it was RAW file. I could not access the file that way, this other one partially fixed it but I need to recover the entire drive if possible. Do I have to pay for the full license in order to get this done because I'm using the trial version.

is there another computer you can try it in, also when you plug it in is there a new icon in the bottom left saying installing driver. if so wait for it to install it might then start to work.
