subject: Is it Possible to Recover Data Files When Your Thumb Drive Fails? [print this page] Have you lost your important documents due to a flash drive crash and wonder if you can recover those files?
Flash Drives are commonly known as "thumb drives" because their size are almost equal to a man's thumb. You can save documents, school work, pictures, music, and with a really large (16GB) capacity, you can even save videos such as homemade videos, video songs, movies, etc.
You run a greater risk of your flash drive getting corrupted if you download files from the Internet directly into your flash drive. A virus or a file that did not properly download may become the cause of it. This can be a very frustrating problem, especially when you have to turn in a document or other file for school or for your business purpose.
There is another reason for the corruption of your flash drive, as sometimes files will be corrupted when opening them on different computers to save your work, such as when using a public access computer at the local library or at work. This can lead to lost files, corrupted files, accidentally deleted or improperly installed files.
So how can we recover those deleted/corrupted data and files on the flash drive?
There are hundreds of software options you can download for free, but your best bet if you want to safely recover and save your files is to pay for the right software for your PC or laptop. So selecting the right software is most important. The software you select must fulfill your priorities. The software suite will recover lost or corrupted documents, pictures, or other media, and safely restore them to their proper condition easily.
Install your chosen recovery software, insert your flash drive in the proper port on your computer or laptop, open the software suite, and a wizard interface will pop up. Follow all the directions properly, and you will be able to recover all the files from your flash drive, whether they are deleted files, corrupted files, or improperly loaded files. Some software also have the capability to restore SD card files that have been lost, accidently deleted or corrupted, XD card files, and even corrupted files on your hard drive.
Now nothing is ever really lost, thanks to recovery software suites. A recovery software allows you to feel more relaxed and not worry about the security of your important documents, files, etc. If you accidentally or unknowingly delete a file you need, or even if it gets corrupted, the flash drive recovery software you choose will help you save your hard work and time.
