Hi Nick,

Thanks for your support here. I tried all of the above, but no luck. I purchased a 16gb LGear from FutureShop. Now I have the same problem, and I am trying to recover my data. Do you have any suggested software at this point?

Thank you,

Hi Nick,

When I am trying to fix my 4GB IBALL USB drive, it is getting detected by prog1 but showing up following error against it:

20000: Invalid device error
Bad Block: 0/0

Start and other options are disabled, any idea what can I do to fix it?

Thanks:
Amit.

Hi nick,

I am downloading the program right now and i’ll try it after.

Ahhm, one thing..the comments are very necessary to read before the downloading of the progs.rar, but it is more informative if you will put the date on each of every comments when it was posted.

Thank you very much! More Power man!

Chris,

I searched the web quickly and all I could find is a utility that works for compact flash.

If I find anything that works on sandisk I’ll be sure to post an update.

Sorry

Hi Nick

Is there any chance you have the programs for a SanDisk SDYNLNDHSP-016G. Would really appreciate you help.
Thanks

Hello,

Just to further clarify a few things. If your drive does not show up with these programs it is not the end of the world, it just means the program does not recognize your controller. Keep searching for similar programs around the web. Also if you have the heart to open up your drive and read the controller name then that should help in your search.

I will continue to attempt and find the codes/programs which people request but without having the drives handy it will be hard. Always remember flash is not meant for storage but for transport. Never trust critical data to any flash drive, or any ONE hard drive.
