usb flash drive recovery

by alwayslors . Updated 15 years, 3 months ago

I have an 8 gig usb drive that I use for everything, my life is on that drive including all my assignments for the last 6 years. The other day it stopped working, when I put it into the usb port it shows up in windows but when I try to access it I am asked to insert media as though it were a cd drive and it shows as being full up.

I have tried it in several machines and get the same thing, I have even tried it on diffrent os’s including xp, vista and ubuntu. Does anyone have any software or tricks they recomend to get back the information on it? I have backups but due to some mistake in my backup program the last 6 months are missing so everything I was working on is gone and I would rather get it back than have to re-do the work as I have a couple of assignments due next week which I had done but not handed in. Please can anyone help?
