USB drive recovery
Av Verkstedsteamet hos Datorhjälp Lerum, datateknikere og it-spesialister · Oppdatert
USB sticks wear out and can suddenly stop working — or files are deleted by mistake. Stop using it immediately when something goes wrong; every new write can overwrite what you want to recover.
Stop — do not write more
Unplug USB if Windows asks to format — say no.
Do not use the USB stick 'one more time' to test — that can destroy recovery chances.
Software attempt (carefully)
Try another USB port and another PC — sometimes it is the port, not the stick.
Free tools can find deleted files if the partition remains — save recovered files to another disk.
For physical damage or burnt controller software will not help — workshop required.
When to come to us
Important work files, photos or accounting — we have a clean environment and tools for flash recovery.
We assess free of charge whether the stick is worth sending to a specialist lab.

Ofte stilte spørsmål
Can a formatted USB be recovered?
Often partially, if nothing new was written. The sooner the better.
