Repair ur unaccessible flash drive in two minutes

[utsav]

Sometimes it might have happened that whenever u plug in ur pen drive or mp3 player in the usb ,u r unable to access ur drive and ur system hangs when u click on the drive to access it.Its not becoz of bad sectors in ur drive always.it is due to the memory pool corruption.

HOW TO REPAIR IT

plug in ur drive to the usb port and restart ur computer.when ur system will boot up after shutdown it will run checkdisk on ur flash drive.let it run

after the system boots up completely u will be able to access ur drive.

I have myself tried it on over 5 flash drives to confirm it.

I also repaired my friend's Creative Zen Stone MP3 player using this method.

Can't this be done via chkdsk?

[ThinkFree]

Thanks

[Faun]

what if drive contains virus and next time u reboot the virus has it all.

Cant we run chkdsk from windows ?

[New]

Can't we do this by formating the Drive?

[Gigacore]

Well really i knew this before...

Anyway thanks for that utsav, keep going!!!

[Abhishek Dwivedi]

hey...chkdsk utility can fix it too..can't it??

[Gigacore]

^ yeah.. it can

[Cool G5]

I was also saying the same.
CHKDSK will fix it.

...and in the process windows may get infected if pendrive contains some virus

[Cool G5]

Then AV will come to rescue.

[praka123]

Ahaa! not every AV,those with ontime scanning will be able to find.that too provided AV is updated regularly.if it is the other way,ur windows will be finished if some powerful virus or trojans are residing inside ur pendrive

[utsav]

u cant even access ur drive via command prompt when this problem happens.
so forget chkdsk

nothing can be done to access the drive.except to reboot the system.i have even tried flashing my friend's zen stone mp3 player with new firmware but its no help.only reboot and let chkdsk automatically run.

[praka123]

U have to check it in Linux also!most prolly Linux will detect these drives.and u can run fsck to fix the error,Hopefully.

[utsav]

everybody does not hav linux installed in their PCs
