I have a Lexar 256 GB [ white, with the connector sliding in and out ] pen drive, that had a load of various files on it. I copied them off and then thought I had better delete the files on the drive. Having done so I was then using Mini Tool Partition Free on something else when I saw that I could write a load of 0s to the drive. [ As this was sometime ago I think it was Mini Tools ] I then put it away, and about a month or so later I realised that I needed to use the drive and put the drive into my USB 3.0 7 port hub, but it did not register. It has taken me a few days to work out that it does not appear on my list of drives in Explorer! [ OK, not quite accurate. It appears as drive F, with the instruction that a disk should be inserted!! ] I have tried Mini Tool again to try and format the drive but it does not even see the drive, so I can not format the drive. I am quite annoyed that there was no warning that writing the 0s to the drive would, apparently, wipe out the drive and all I want to do is to get it back. So my question is : Does anyone know how I can retrieve the drive OR do I have to ask Lexar to have it back and for them to format the drive?
Any and all replies will be very welcome.
Thank You!!!!
I didn't find the right solution from the Internet.
