Recover data from corrupt Lexar 128gb flash drive

I have a Lexar Flash Drive, 128 GB and I need to do some data recovery.

Any suggestions on software that I could use, or is a professional service preferable?

Thanks!

So long as you don't make any changes to the device, any recovery tool will likely work.

Just use whatever tool you have on hand.

There are many free + paid tools, which recover data in different ways.

Main point is, each change you make to the device, destroys more data. Avoid copying data to the device or even cd'ing to the device.

You might try Recuva from Piriform (CCleaner).

More aggressive is Getdataback.

Alternately depending on how important the data is, you could contact Gillware for a quote

Thanks for all the input:

At this stage, I am NOT doing anything to the drive except trying to get data off of it.

I will let you all know once I get this solved.

For home use I like "testdisk"

Although in the end, this did not compleatly resolve my issue, it was able to show me more on the drive than I was able to get with anything else.

I purchased the program in question and will use it as needed.
