How to recover corrupted data from a flash drive with the NTFS file system?

Question

USB flash drives

There was a problem with the files on the flash drive. The flash drive was removed from the usb port in an unsafe way. As a result, no files on it now open.
Can they be restored?
In the process, programs such as Recuva have already been used, it was possible to recover a number of files, but this is not enough.
There was also an attempt with rs fat recovery
Also nothing. It shows files but they are deleted. you restore them, open them, and inside they are empty.
What other ways and programs can you recommend?

Answer 1

I recommend to google chtol for decency about "safe shutdown" and in what years it was necessary.

Answer 2

R-Studio or Ontrack EasyRecovery, once upon a time, even with floppy disks, the EasyRecovery Professional program helped, I don’t know if it works with flash drives.

Answer 3

Just advice.
The most important thing to do is a copy of the contents of the entire "flash drive", an image, not at the FS level, but at the "physical" level. In the future, work only with the image, having its backup copy, just in case.
The above R-Studio can work with media at a "low" level.

Answer 4

Right. Make an image of a flash drive and then work with it.
Under Linux, you can use the command:
where / dev / sdc is a flash drive, and image.iso is an image from which you will later recover information.
Under Windows, if I'm not mistaken, the image can be made via UltraISO or ImageUSB.
Then restore everything through R-Studio. But I’m afraid that little will come of it, since unsafe extraction, most likely, means that the files did not have time to completely add to the USB flash drive, which means there is simply nothing to restore.
Good luck.
