Hello, a relative of mine has recently been having a problem where her laptop appears to break the memory sticks she uses on the laptop.
On three different occasions, she has used the laptop to place files on each of the memory sticks, removed them and later tried to reaccess them to find they no longer work. On her computer, you hear the chime as it plugs in but then when you click on the drive - you get the message 'please insert a disc into USB Drive'. The drive also does not work in other laptops.
First of all, can the files on these USB drives be recovered and how can I prevent the laptop from bricking other USB drives!?
Thanks
