: : : : I have an HP V100 flash drive with lots of backup files on it. Using Win XP, it shows up as drive F, but soon after I open the folder, it disappears from the list of mounted drives. I am unable to copy any files off of it. Any ideas?
: : : Sounds like the boot sector is damaged. There are some freeware programs that claim to be able to create a new boot sector.
: : Okay. Any suggestions on which one to try?
: Yeah, try Minitools Partition Wizard. That program can create a new boot sector for you.
Anybody know how to access the actual low-level data on the drive? I'd like to take a look at it.
