A. Khan http://www.hardwareanalysis.com/content/topic/71155/?l=1#0 Suddenly my USB drive (EMPREX 1GB) is not accessible. It shows up when I open &quot;My Computer&quot; icon, but when I try to access it, it comes back with the error &quot;The disk in drive in not formatted, do you want to format it&quot;. Certainly I do not want to format it as it has my<br /> some important data which I might lose if I format. Any help in restoring it ????<br /> <br /> thanx
