Turning to the forums here to help me with an issue I am having with a 3.5" external USB drive. My wife found an old 3.5" floppy that had some great old memories on them but someone used the disk and either erased or formatted the thing leaving an old resume .doc file. I immediately thought that all is not lost, maybe there is a chance to undelete any files but I am running into issues, as to be expected in this situation. Windows Explorer can see the drive and I can read the contents but Disk Management does not see it nor can I see anything under Device Manager. I was able to see it is using a generic Windows Driver (via Properties while in Explorer):
TEAC USB UF000x USB Device
and the device in question is a simple 3.5" external drive made by the company Chuanganzhuo (no further model numbers or identifying information). I tried different USB ports, disable then re-enable the driver with a fresh restart, different undelete applications, and so on all to no avail. Closest I got was with RecoverIt where it can see the drive but will say the drive has been disconnected even though Windows Explorer can actively read from it. Out of ideas at this point so I am hoping the community can help me get a scan ran on this old drive (Windows 10 OS environment) to hopefully save those memories for her.
