Default Flash Drive not Recognized - Need a file off it

Hello,

First of all, I simply need a file off an Emprex flash drive. The easiest way I can accomplish this would be welcomed.

My drive has always worked flawlessly on multiple machines. Tonight, while the USB flash drive was in use, I received a message saying the drive had an error.

It was not listed in the drives anymore so I couldn't disable it. The drive light was still on when I pulled it out. Now, the light doesn't come on. Every machine I plug it in recognizes something but not exactly what it is. "USB not recognized" is the message I get.

Again, I just need to get a file off it.

I downloaded five programs that all said they could recover files from damaged USB drives. All of them said they couldn't find the drive even though the computer acknowledges something is plugged into the USB port. These programs obviously weren't helpful. What use is a "flash drive recovery tool" that can't identify the damaged drive it can supposedly pull the file from?

I need that file.

Thanks for the help,

Jeff
