The problem is not related to my computer detecting my Fujitsu USD drive, the problem is in the Fujitsu drive itself... It has bad sectors (as revealed by some powerful data recovery softwares). Please note that I have already tried the below, and they ALL FAILED:
1) CHKDSK "F"/R (UNDER MS DOS)
2) LOW LEVEL FORMAT (SO THAT TO RECOVER LATER THE DATA)
3) FORMATING THROUGH PARAGON PARTITION MAGIC (SO THAT TO RECOVER LATER THE DATA)
any other suggestions?
Thanks
Lou
