Thread: USB drive unformatted?

  1. TestDisk worked. Its a bit weird to work with but turns out both the fat and the boot sector were fucked. TestDisk copied out a backup of the fat, rebuilt the bootsector and the drive works again.
    Making an image of the drive on a real HD before i mess with it further .

    Thx all.
