My boss gave me a 1GB thumb drive and asked if I could recover some data he had on it. I told him I probably could, and I've tried. It isn't recognized in Windows, and recovery boot disks (Active, BartPE) can't see it. After seeing thishttp://www.linuxjournal.com/article/8366 I had hope that SUSE would save me. Per said page, I opened a root terminal and typed "tail -f /var/log/messages" right after plugging it in and got this:
Code:
May 21 18:51:04 linux-b76y kernel: usb 2-10: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 14

Which doesn't look very good.
Can anybody please help me!
