I was trying to copy some boot software from my laptops "driver and diagnostic" onto my thumb drive and now my 16 GB thumb drive has been reduced to 39 MB due to a partition. I went to disk management and it shows the partition and lists 15 GB as an unallocated side of the partition. I have 8GB of pictures and valuable files on that unreachable side of the partition.
The option to delete the partition is grayed out. I only have access to the 39 MB on one side of the partition. Reformatting doesn't help.
I am using a Dell Inspiron 1150 XP home ed and a 16 GB SanDisk Cruzer. I'm determined not to lose the data or the jump drive. This would be the 3rd pen drive I would have had to trash this year. I thought I was safe this time because I bought a name brand.
