Recently i have bought a SanDisk 16GB Micro USB 2.0 OTG Pen Drive, now i have a problem with that pendrive, when i copy a file and then unmount pendrive. And again try to open saved data in that pen drive ,but unfortunately the data gets corrupted. How to recover the problem. (Note :- i have format the pendrive using android phone before that i try to format the pendrive in windows8 but unfortunately the formatting have not completed.)
 
Hey there, Malathi_1.

Well, formatting an OTG USB flash drive shouldn't be different than formatting a regular flash drive. How did you try to format the flash drive? I'd recommend that you try via Disk Management or by using the manufacturer's formatting utility, to see if it works for you. You could also try those methods with a different computer, to see if the same thing happens.

Hope that helps.
