If you're using a windows operating system, you should use the &quot;Stop [device]&quot; feature (clicking on an icon in the taskbar, usually looks like a PC-card or something) and wait for &quot;OK&quot; before removing anything. That'd be the safe way.<br />

I have a problem with my USB key disk - it seems to have 'lost' some of the folders; they appear in a funny format ( file type : File ?!!)and contain no files!<br />
<br />
A colleague of mine said it sounds like some of these files have become corrupted. &nbsp;Sadly this can happen, and is often because the drive is removed before a file has finished copying across to it. &nbsp;According to him it is hard to know when to remove a drive because the progress bar when a file is copied is not normally a useful guide - it normally finishes far in advance of the files having actually been copied.<br />
<br />
He advised me that try this website if there are files I need to recover - so here I am! <br />
<br />
I would be eternally grateful for assistance as I'm in quite a nasty bind<br />

Recovering 'corrupted' folders on USB key disk

Computer data storage, often called storage or memory, is a technology consisting of computer components and recording media used to retain digital data. In addition to local storage devices like CD and DVD readers, hard drives and flash drives, solid state drives can hold enormous amounts of data in a very small device. Cloud services and other new forms of remote storage also add to the capacity of devices and their ability to access more data without building additional data storage into a device.
