Flash Drive Crashed: How to Recover and Prevent Data Loss | Laptop Woes

[pamperedpals]

I'm so upset right now, I could cry. :cry:

I use a laptop for all of my PC needs. However, when I need to print anything, I need to do it from our desktop, because I haven't been able to get our printer to work with Vista. So anyhoo...I backed up my P3 and went to restore it on the desktop and it didn't work. I tried every USB port and the flash drive just sat there, no green light turning on, nothing!:grumpy:

It has all of my files, letters, invitations, everything on it! Now I have to start all over. I was just going to put everything on my laptop this weekend.

Oh well, you live and learn. I guess I will have to buy a new flash drive.

Call the Company that made it. Maybe they can retrieve the data?

I had this happen to me just in the past few weeks and I wanted to cry!! :cry: I had to recreate everything and it stinks. :yuck:

Lesson well learned! Make double copies of everything. :chef:

This has happened way..... too many times to me. I put my foot forward and bought an external hardrive with 500 gig and a flashdrive and back everything twice.

I HATE computers for what you are going through!!! I hope your figure something out Laurie!
