Hey Guys, Never had to deal with this undil I screwed up and deleted the partition off my USB key. I formatted the USB key on my system along with my hard disk and now when I insert my USB key in, it find the drive but asks to put a disk into drive F:

Im assuming its because I removed the partition on the USB key but my question is, does anyone know a way I can retrieve that data on it before I re-partition it and format the drive?

Thanks in advance.
 
I'd try a data recovey app - same as for hard drive (eg, getdataback) - but I've never tried with memory stick so no idea how it will go on.
 
I had a similar problem with an Attache' USB 2.0 flash drive, I emailed PNY tech support who then sent a small program via email, that when run, corrected my partition problem but I never tried to retrieve the data.
