Flash drive problem

My ativa flashdrive stopped working. I can not access the information stored on it. I tried using different computers, they all read it as though it is an unformatted disk.

Most likely it has expired. Have you attempted a reformat?

You may want to go to U3.com, download the latest version (1.6) and install it before you format drive and lose everything. The new version will format the drive but asks if you want to back up and restore files on the drive before the format...worked great I didn't lose anything and the flash drive works like a new drive
