At first I pluged it in the usb that i always plug my mouse into. it didn't work so i unpluged it and put it in a different usb and it didn't show up on the left hand side where it usually does. when i double clicked the drive picture it says insert dick which i don't understand cause it's a datastick. so i checked to see what the properties said and it's like nothing's there no data no gbs no nothing. plus i checked the pc to make sure it was even showing and it acts like there's nothing pluged in.
It was working before and i have music, nonreplaceable pictures, and nonreplaceable videos.
Please can someone help me get my stuff back and get the datastick working without reformatting it. I don't know or understand what happened. I also tried to put it in slower but it didn't work.
Please help me and Thank You
