re: USB not removed safely Wednesday, September 1, 2010 at 8:55 am Windows 7 Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by MartinM (7538 messages posted) CHKDSK/R might tidy up the corruption, although the file that was being written at the moment you unplugged is probably beyond repair. If its a large disk it will take a very long time to complete. If that doesn't work, try Recuva. It is free and was designed for "accidentally deleted" files but can also find files when your file system is corrupted. Or you can try a utility such as this, but its not free.   Written in response to: USB not removed safely (Jack Shaw: Wednesday, September 1, 2010 at 8:39 am) Responses to this message: re: USB not removed safely (Jack Shaw: Wednesday, September 1, 2010 at 2:06 pm) re: USB not removed safely (Jack Shaw: Thursday, September 2, 2010 at 10:36 am) All messages in this thread [show all] USB not removed safely (Jack Shaw: Wed, Sep 1, 2010, 8:39 am) re: USB not removed safely (MartinM: Wed, Sep 1, 2010, 8:55 am) re: USB not removed safely (Jack Shaw: Wed, Sep 1, 2010, 2:06 pm) re: USB not removed safely (MartinM: Thu, Sep 2, 2010, 4:31 am) re: USB not removed safely (Jack Shaw: Thu, Sep 2, 2010, 10:36 am) re: USB not removed safely (MartinM: Thu, Sep 2, 2010, 11:11 am) Reply or follow-up to this message Search this forum Start a new thread on a different subject Report abuse of the forum Return to the Windows 7 Discussion Forum
