Hi all! We have been experiencing an issue on site where threads have been missing the latest postings. The platform host Vanilla are working on this issue. A workaround that has been used by some is to navigate back from 1 to 10+ pages to re-sync the thread and this will then show the latest posts. Thanks, Mike.

Recovering a Flash Drive ?

iMax · 2008-01-13 11:08:09

Anyone know if there's any way of recovering a flash drive ? I have a 2GB one that reports as unformatted in windows, but when I go to format it it says it can't complete the format. Not sure whats on it & not too bothered, just want to try to use the drive again.

You can use a program like recuva to check for data on the disk, afterwards format it.

google for smart recovery. Its a free app that will probably do the job as long as its only the FS that borked.
