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 /?
Thank you very much!!! It works!!!
I was able to recover 7 GB of backup files! God Bless you!

The files are turned into hidden or shortcut. To fix the problem, you can first recover your file. follow this guide: http://goo.gl/6Ees1L
After you get back all your data, you can update anti-virus software and then do a scan on usb drive. What antivirus software, do you use? popular ones are AVG, Norton, Mcafee.

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
Thank you so so so so so much!!
I tried them all but this is the only one that worked for me. It was urgent because I needed to print a pic for my class but then It got a virus. >.< Damn. It always gets a virus when I use it at school.

I have the same problem but none of the above commands are working for me.I have a stick drive 3.0 16Gb, operating on a Windows 8.
I tried both run and run as admin and nothing.
When I insert the drive it tells me to format it...
This is an old thread. Your best chance for a solution is to post your question in a new thread.
