Today, when I tried to access files from my Kingston DataTraveler, it told me it is not formatted. Is it possible to recover my lost files? How can I do it? Thank you very much.
This is a normal data loss issue that Kingston DataTraveler owners may encounter. To recover data from your Kingston DataTraveler, you’ll need to stop using the device immediately.
