Quick search on here will return you lots of results to do precisely what you want.

Try these:

Recuva - Undelete, Unerase, File Recovery - Home

Avira UnErase Personal

ive tried a couple of these but dont seem to work. The problem is the USB Drive askes to be formatted when you insert it and Theres definatly data on there (supposedly!)

[flashsnaps]

I always recommend this:

PhotoRec - CGSecurity

Does a good job for smaller devices like memory sticks, wouldn't recommend it for Hard Drives though.

I have always used "Get Data Back" you can do a FAT independent recovery and its always worked for me.

2nd shout here for get data back

You can download the free trial off the website, and although it doesnt let you do full disk recovery in free mode, you can recover file by file, which is ideal if its only a couple of files on a usb pendrive you need

I'd also reccomend 'Recuva' or 'Get Data Back', but if neither of these work you can download free trials of DiskInternals recovery software that is also quite good:

Download undelete software. NTFS Recovery

Same here can recommend get data back both fat and ntfs versions

Thanks Guys!!!!

Many of these programs can only recover data from a formatted or software-corrupted drive.

If the drive has physically failed then there's not much hope.

My personal recommendations are Freeundelete (free) and Ontrack's Data Recovery utility (very expensive!)

I have also need to retrieve or restore pen drive data which is lost or missing by own mistake, so please any one help me and gives me right suggestion to overcome this issue.....

Thanx
