Ask HN: USB Drive needs to be 'formatted'- Need data

1 pointsby azover 13 years ago
Is there an easy fix to get the data off the drive? It worked on a mac and a pc, but now when I insert into my computer, it comes up with a "This drive needs to be formatted" message.<p>I've tried a whole bunch of programs and none of them worked. The HP File Recovery, Pandora Recovery, PC Inspector, and Recuva.<p>Which program(s) do GeekSquad or other data retrieval companies use to access? Or should I bring the USB drive to them and get charged an arm-and-a-leg?<p>Maybe you know of a good program that assisted you in retrieving data of a USB drive? Maybe a friend? Can you tweet this to your twitter or post this to your Facebook? Thanks.
