@@cleverfiles no i had the same problem as @evalarslars2566. 500MB is BS, if the file you try to recover doesn't work, then you are screwed out of future attempts unless paying a lot of money. i understand that you still need to make money off of things you worked on and created but the 500mb threshold is a joke

Except that first method, it shows that it recovered files, but they are not necessarily intact instead of corrupt. Been down this road many times, essentially you should NEVER trust a USB flash drive as the only source of your data. It is a transportation method or perhaps a single copy of multiple other copies you have, so if it has a problem, you aren't needing to try to recover data off of it. If you need more than that out of a USB flash drive, get one that's actually an SSD with a USB bridge chip in it. For example Sandisk Extreme Pro, not their lesser models.

Sadly, nothing worked for me. When I did the first methods, a screen pops up saying it needs to reformat (this was my initial problem). When I try the last method, it says the following after I press enter: "The type of the file system is RAW. CHKDSK is not available for RAW drives." I am not sure what else to do. I don't know why the usb drive got corrupted. I have a lot of photos/videos and important files on it... Please help :(

Try plugging the USB drive into different ports or another computer to see if it is recognized. On Windows, check Device Manager and Disk Management for issues or unrecognized devices, and update USB drivers if needed. On Mac, use Disk Utility to see if the drive appears and run First Aid. You might also need to use a third-party recovery tool like Disk Drill. If the drive still isn't recognized, it may be damaged, and professional data recovery services might be necessary.

Hey hey hey...lol. I was trying to do that Byte to Byte backup on the Disk Drill...but it said I didn't have enough room. My USB is a 1TB.. 1.62 MB used...976 GB free space .C drive has 350ish GB useable. I tried to use my desktop for the backup....said I didn't have enough space....So I tried my Seagate Backup Plus slim (2TB)...it also said I didn't have enough space. It has 1.70 TB free space. I lost the information...used your other tricks to find the files. You said not to use the USB that had been corrupted to put the files back on. But what do I do if it says it doesn't have the space for the backup. I used the Disk Drill to open one folder...and though I don't recognize the files (some were there....some weren't). What am I doing wrong with the BYTE to BYTE BACKUP? Do I need to purchase the software before it works....because I don't have 60 hours to do a byte to byte?

Use Disk Management to delete the existing RAW partition, create a new volume, and format it as either NTFS or FAT32. On macOS, use Disk Utility to erase and format the SD card to MS-DOS (FAT) or ExFAT. If built-in tools fail, consider using third-party software to manage and format the partitions. Follow the software prompts to delete the RAW partition and create a new one with the desired file system.
