Okay, I have a Geek Squad 4GB Flash Drive device. I got it for like 20 or 30 dollars... I don't really remember. Getting a new one is not a big loss, it's the value of my information on it that's important.

When I first got it, it was very simple, I plugged it into one of my laptop's ports and it would say something like 'installing software', which it does this with anything and everything I plug into a port... then it'd come up and say something about an error and if I wanted to scan and fix or continue, so I always did continue (cause, again, for some reason, it always thinks there is a problem). Then it would show me a option table thing where I could choose how I wanted to open it. Usually I click that out and just go into documents and open it from there.

I now how to do the computer thing, where you look at it.

So here's the deal: As of this morning June 23, I put it in and it didn't pop up like it usually does. So I went to the computer thing, and when I looked at it shows it as a 'Removable Disk'. I clicked it and it asks me if I wanted to format the disk. OF COURSE NOT!!! I have over 150 documents on it!!!

Please! Someone help! That stuff isn't retrievable!

I've already tried a site where you can retrieve deleted information, just incase somehow it got deleted. Nothing showed up. I didn't delete anything. I accidently passed out, and left the device in my laptop, but I've done this before and nothing has ever happened.

I have a Windows Vista or whatever. (I'm eventually switching to Mac, I do not enjoy Windows or it's programs and flaws.) I have tried to plug it into my home computer, which is also a windows, and my father's laptop which is a Window's and the brand is an ACER.

Please, someone help!!!
I'll be crushed if I lose all that hard work!!
I don't know... Window's XP or Vista or whatever, I just know it's a Window's and it was bought two years ago. And it's only crashed once, due to a falty motherboard.
 
Search on the internet for data retrieval programs for flash drives. Even if you delete the information by accident, one of these programs can usually restore it. I've just gotten a computer with VIsta on it a couple of months ago, and I don't see what everyone's problem is. My dad had a $4000 Mac that totally died on him. Different experiences I guess.

Oh, and you can get flash drives on the Internet for way less than that.
