Kiss of death to USB thumb drives</h1> <article> <h1>Kiss of death to USB thumb drives</h1> <p>Wed, 23 Jan 2013 22:29:33 +0000</p> <p>OK Maybe it is just my school but does anyone else have staff who can trash thumb drives at will?</p><p> </p><p> I am now the proud owner of a number of returned sticks because they are no longer being recognised by our PC's or laptops. Have a Verbatim Store N Go drive sitting in my home machine (Win 7 64) now and it is just flashing away. Explorer etc. can see it and allocate a drive letter but you can't access it. Got an XP machine at school to eventually bring it up in Disk Manager and it said the drive was good etc.</p><p> </p><p> Any one else run into this and anyone found a solution that works? Several references to this on google but no solutions that seem to work.</p><p> </p><p> Don't want to reformat etc as the drives contain stuff that the teachers need!</p> </article> </main></body></html>
