![]() ![]() ![]() Even then I would use h2tesw to confirm they were really that brands product and matched read/write speeds claimed as well as the full storage media in operation. Tiff, I'd expect any 1TB or 2TB USB flash drive or microSD card to be absolutely fake unless they are a well known brand costing several hundred pounds. Hint any FLASH media you buy from those platforms the first thing you should do is test them with the 3rd party utility h2testw utility and if it reports errors in red/pink background, screen shot the window and request a refund as they are never going to be reliable even if you partition them to only use the existing FLASH memory as they would have been manufacturer seconds that they couldn't sell originally. ![]() The chances are if the device claimed it was a 1TB or 2TB USB Thumb drive obtained from platforms such as it is 100% fake and only ever had between 8GB and 32GB of real FLASH memory chips inside and the firmware was hacked to falsely report impossible size for that price. ![]() That error usually occours when the FLASH chip low level data has been trashed. responds insert media into drive or any other error when you attempt to access it, then no generic recovery tool such as this, that does not access the controllers using a manuafacturer specific driver, is going to be able to access the FLASH media. Tiff, if the USB device is no longer initialising properly so it no longer produces a viable storage device, i.e. don't install it unless you want an unlicensed trial to be installed and the licensed giveaway uninstalled. Note this will check for updates on launch periodically, it won't update itself but if you accept an update offered it will launch the product website to download the latest version. The interface lists that 930GB space as "Lost Partition-1" IF I select that entry it SHOULD only scan the slack never written to portion in between the two existing partitions and find nothing as nothing has ever been written there BUT it apears to start scanning from the very start of the LBA address range and finds all the files in the NTFS partition! Doh! what a way to waste time redundant scanning of entire unwanted volumes! Version 2.1 that I had before did the same too. I have a pair of 2TB drives in my Vista laptop, the primary was added recently and contains two partitions the original 920GB C: system volume and at the far end the HP recovery partition, with a space in between that has never been written to. There is what I consider a bug in the "lost partition" feature of the drive selection screen. ![]()
