I have the USB chip itself (usb drive, but no case) it seems perfectly fine from careful visual inspection except for a slighly bent insertion tip. When I plug it into my PC, it appears but I can't open it. And windows (XP) says it is an unknown device The Data inside is of utmost importace and is irreplacable! Ideas? -------------------- Super Soldier Poskov Like Volkov, but more conventional.

No, it determines if the drive is even readable. If neither sees it, or Device Management flags it as an unknown device, you're f*cked plain and simple. If Device Management sees it as a USB device and Disk Management can see it as a drive, you may be able to at least use it again but the data is probably so badly corrupted that recovery is not possible. -------------------- Freedom Studios \| The Editing Source Beowulf's Rules: RA2 - 95% \| BWR: YR - 65% \| BWR: TS - 40% \| YR: The Generals - 50% \| Red Alert X - 60%
