Ways to Fix an Unrecognised USB

The USB drive is an effective and feasible way of data storage and its transmission. But being unfortunate, it is sometimes obscure, which makes the existing data unobtainable. 

Let’s find out the reason behind this and know how you can recover your valuable data. 

  • USB data is unrecognisable because of physical damage – The main function of USB drives is to combat the strain of transmitting data. Anyhow, it does not mean that they are highly vulnerable to physical damage. The physical damage by any factor can stop the USB drive from being spotted by a computer. And when this happens, it would be best to entrust the USB drive to a data recovery specialist. He will recover your valuable data in a controlled environment. 
  • USB drive undetectable because of driver malfunction – If, on connecting the USB, you receive a text like — “USB drive not recognised”, there could be some kind of obstacle with the operating system. Given the circumstances, try to install the device driver; thereafter, if the USB drive is still inaccessible, the system software may be failing to allocate a letter to the USB drive. Attempt to fix the failure via “Disk Management.” If these solutions fail to address the issue, then you can download data recovery software. 

Steps for easy data recovery

  • To recover your valuable data, you must stop using your device straight away. This helps in the prevention of deleted files from being overwritten. 
  • You ought to download and install comprehensible recovery software on another drive and not on the same drive from which you want to recover the data. 
  • The next step would be to launch the software, thereby selecting the device or drive which is affected and starting to scan the USB drive. 
  • The last but not least step would be to filter out the results, preview the files in order to check the uprightness, recover them and save them to a different location, thereby avoiding overwriting. 

You can call a professional if

  • The data is unique and invaluable, such as memorable photos or work files, which are really critical. 
  • You are dealing with complex system failures or corrupt data. 

Charges of data recovery

The cost of recovering data can differ significantly, from hundreds to thousands of dollars. The severity of the damage contributes to the cost of data recovery, which means the more severe the case, the higher the charges will be.
