“Can a damaged SanDisk USB drive be fixed?”
Contents
“I have a problem with my 32GB SanDisk USB flash drive. It was accidentally removed before ‘shutdown; now it is kind of damaged and not recognized by my Windows computer. The data on it is insignificant, but, if possible, I’d like to keep it. I had another flash drive with the same symptoms and ended up junking it. Don’t want to do that again!!! So is there a reliable SanDisk USB repair tool to fix such damaged USB drive? Thank you.”
