Recovering Temp Saves

Hi, my brother just lost all the data from his memory stick, it appears that it got fried. I was wondering if any of you could recommend a programme that recovers temp files made by windows or microsoft word, I searched your site but couldnt see anything useful.

A response would be a life saver!

Any response?

Have you tried any data recovery software on that memory stick?

Or is the memory stick unresponsive?

 

yeah, it doesnt show up in my computer when plugged into a USB drive, tried on several different computers.

 

No luck with that, the usb disk is completely unresponsive, thanks for the reccomendation, I will try it later on. Turns out my brother was using Linux when writing up his work, so all hope is fading, ah well, it will be a lesson learnt for him to backup everything on his PC not just his USB stick.

Thanks for the reply's guys

 

Luckily my dad managed to have a look and sorted it out, not suree what he did exactly but thought I would let you know so you could sleep a little easier at night xD

thanks chaps

 

well he didnt recover the files using a programme, turns out on of the pins in the stick was bent, not sure what he meant be that exactly but he just put it back in place
