My USB drive is 128 gb but for some reason it was FAT32 formatted when I picked it up from around the home and started using it. I tried to put a movie on it but found I couldn't put anything larger than 4GB on it which is strange because the usb drive is 128 gb. I read online that I should format it to NTFS and tried this thorugh windows inbuilt tool and Ease Use partition tool. I had a little more success with ease use because it seemingly allowed me to convert it to NTFS but each time I tried to access the drive I got an error "the file or directory is corrupted and unreadable"
So, to solve this case, three keys: 1, Use data recovery software to recover data. 2, Use CHKDSK to check the device. 3, Reformat the drive.
Formatting a disk for use by an operating system and its applications typically involves three different processes.High-level formatting is the process of setting up an empty file system on a disk partition or logical volume and, for PCs, installing a boot sector. This is a fast operation, and is sometimes referred to as quick formatting. Reformatting often carries the implication that the operating system and all other software will be reinstalled after the format is complete. Rather than fixing an installation suffering from malfunction or security compromise, it may be necessary to simply reformat everything and start from scratch. Various colloquialisms exist for this process, such as "wipe and reload", "nuke and pave", "reimage", etc. Sometimes, data present in the physical drives (Internal/External Hard disk, Pen Drive, etc.) gets lost, deleted and formatted due to circumstances like virus attack, accidental deletion or accidental use of SHIFT+DELETE. In these cases, data recovery software are used to recover/restore the data files. Logical recovery of files, partition, MBR and filesystem structures After the drive has been cloned to a new drive, it is suitable to attempt the retrieval of lost data. If the drive has failed logically, there are a number of reasons for that.Data damage can be caused when, for example, a file is written to a sector on the drive that has been damaged. This is the most common cause in a failing drive, meaning that data needs to be reconstructed to become readable. Corrupted documents can be recovered by several software methods or by manually reconstructing the document using a hex editor.
