[cromerov]

I have this rare issue with my storage usb 4gb, I used it very frecuenly in Internet caffes, i do regular stuff download music, music, etc, one day i went there and i insert my USB flash drive to the computer and some of the files were not there and my first reaction that was a virus but no virus were found on it, and when i click on properties all the files were there but for some reason i could not access them, i had some movies and some ilegal software ( jajaja like cracks and stuff ) i finaly got tired and delete all but just in case what should i do when this happends ???

Checked the computer first for viruses then do this:

1. Run cmd - Navigate to Accessories>Command Prompt (Run this with Admin rights)
2. type attrib *.* X: -r -s -h /s /d (where X: is the drive, this is your flash drive letter)
3. you can invoke other commands by typing attrib /?

attrib -h -r -s /s /d H:\*.*
Type the upper line in cmd, in order not to make any mistake copy the upper line.
Note that H should be replaced by the name of the driver of flash memory you want to recover.
it helped me a lot.
Enjoy

attrib is not an operational command

 

[Fearcreatingangel07]

Do the following
1. Got to Run and open Cmd
2. Type this command: attrib -h -r -s /s /d H:\*.* ( P.s that the H: is the drive name, do change it your existing drive)
3. Press enter and it's done!
Hope it works, it worked for me =) Have a nice day! xD
