Basically, as the title sugests, i have a usb flash disk that has some important files on it i'd prefer not to have lost.
The problem: Whenever i try to access it on a windows (XP or vista) computer it says that it needs to be formatted.
Basically as i was in the process of transferring files from a XP comp to a vista comp, i plug in the USB to the vista comp and it says it needs to be formatted. I have allways used the "safely remove option" and no other operating systems have been involved.
Is there any way i can attempt to recover the data on it or am i out of luck?
