My TDK 2GB USB Flash Disk has abruptly stopped being read i.e. can not be read or written by all Windows Operating Systems. You put on USB ports - on different PCs and Laptops where other Flash disk are read - but this one of mine is not read at all. Please assist as it is containing a lot of my inportant information unbacked-up.

Owen.

Welcome to the forums!

You can try some data recovery software.

If your Windows can detect it as a device with some unknown partition, try data recovery software as it was recommended above (Ontrack Data Recovery works well on those kind of stuff).
If your Windows can't even detect the flash drive, you are out of luck then. Depending on how bad do you need this software, you may want to contact data recovery services to see what they can do.
