USB drive is faulty; need help, urgently
Thread Content
When my USB drive (I can’t remember the brand) is connected to the computer, it shows \"New hardware detected\"; there is also a USB drive icon on the desktop. However, when I double-click to open it, it’s empty, with \"Used space: 0\" and \"Available space: 0\". Also, the indicator light of the USB drive remains on at this time. It contains a lot of important data. Is it possible to restore it? I’m asking experts for help. Thank you very much: L
