Unable to access Memory Stick.
Hi All
Bought a memory stick recently. The first sign of anything unusual was I needed to remove stick from computer and re attach it, after a period of inactivity, to re access information. Now it will not work and no "flickering" light. Properties says stick is full, with 0 bytes used and 0 available.
Any ideas, apart from binning it?

Check out Convar's PC Inspector. It's freeware, and has worked for me a couple of times recovering photos from recalcitrant media.
More bang for your buck

About the only thing you can try now is applying gentle pressure to the stick or slightly twisting it to see if its minor break inside the device and if the computer will recognize it just long enough to get the data off. .

I had this problem with a memory card reader on my laptop which wouldn't work after a windows update. Try system restore to see if that works. I found a problem with the driver after that and reverted to a windows driver
and it was fine.
and it was fine.
