And me,not reading the warnings and stuff,beacuse Im too lazy,formted it.I had my lock prottecting all 8 GB of my USB. Now,I dont have any memory left,beacuse the Windows deleted my lock. Dant use a different one than I downloaded from the internet,but I cant find the one that I had. (btw,my stick is one of the older models i think,doesnt have any lights on him,you have to push and pull the button to eject the stick)

Just google "rescue my files"
Lots of sites are offering software to recover deleted files, or even files from a formatted drive.
Be aware, if you did write anything on the drive after formatting, it will decrease the chance of and the amount of files you can rescue.
Most sites offer a trail version wich you should use first, to see if there is still something to rescue. To my knowledge there were some good freeware programs, but not sure they are still there. I use a paid version, since I deleted a drive by accident

SOURCE: Memory Stick Pro Duo 8GB on PsP

Two possibilities.
1. The firmware on your PSP is too old to recognise the 8GB (only recognises up to 4GB).
2. If firmware is up to date you have a fake memory stick (easy way to check is to check the info for the memory stick on your PSP if its says that MAGIC GATE is unknown rather than supported then it is fake.

The fake ones typically double compress the data so that it appears to have 8GB when in reality it does not.

I accidently deleted my email a/c on my computer how do I retrieve it?

Files in the trash are protected. Once the trash is emptied the storage location those files occupy (on the hard drive) are marked as useable. They may be overwritten already. The more you do the higher that likelihood becomes that the date becomes unrecoverable. Piriform offers "Recuva" a free (for home use) tool to recover deleted files on a Windows machine. Get it at the link below and Good Luck!

How to Recover Deleted Files from Seagate Hard Drive in Windows XP?

Accidently delete important filesusing Shift+Delete keys in Windows XP? Can't get valued pictures back from therecycle bin after you emptied it? How to retrieve data from 'not recognized'hard drive and reconstruct inaccessible partition?

You'reLuck!Deleting or formatting won't make the data erased permanently.Thosedeleted data are still stored in the hard drive. They're just invisible orinaccessible.Only the FAT or NTFS table is erased (the information about wherethose data were saved), but the real data are still intact there in sectors ofthe hard drive.
So long as those deleted data are not overwritten by new data, it's highlypossible to recover them. The most effective way is to rely onsome data recovery program.

Tenorshare DataRecovery is a powerful data recovery program that can easily recover lost,damaged, formatted and accidently deleted data from your laptop or computerhard disk and all kinds of USB media drives.It can recover data afterdeeply scanning your hard drive to look for lost data you accidentally deletedor formatted.
This program is equipped with four critical modules:"deleterecovery", "format recovery", "partition recovery" and"raw recovery". It can recover data after deeply scanning yourstorage device to look for lost data due to drives crash, virus corruptedpartitions, system sabotage, physical damage etc.
It supports for almost all Windows systems like Windows XP,Windows7,Vista,2000,2003,NT and common file systems (FAT12, FAT16,FAT32 and NTFS).You can get ithere: http://www.any-data-recovery.com/index.htm

It can RecoverLost Data Due to

Accidental deleting

» "Shift + Delete" without backup
» "Delete All" when deleting useless files
» Cut files instead of copying and pressing"Cancle" button
» Emptying Recycle Bin after delection
Formatting
» "Media/Drive is not formatted would you liketo format now?"
Virus infection/attack
Unexpected power off
Others
» Factory setting of device
»System reinstalling but want to retrieve the oldfiles
» Inaccessible partition or drive
» Dead hard drive
» Losing files during transferring files fromstorage device to PC/laptop
» Pulling out card while the camera is on
» Removing out storage devices not in "saferemove the drive"
» Turning off the camera during a write process

Then,howto retrieve deleted files?


Withinfour steps, you can get back your data:
1.Select deleted recovery. It will take you a few minutes to scan your storagedevice;
2. heck the deleted datayou want to recover;
3.Select a path folder for the recovered files;
4.Click "OK" to finish recovery.

Onemore tip:

If the hard drive can't be detected(means can't showup in 'My Computer' as a drive letter like C: drive),you can try this way.Putthe hard drive in a zip-lock bag and put it in the freezer for 2-3 hours. Thenwhile it's still cold plug it into the computer.If it fails, you will have to go to a recoveryoffice but let's hope not because it will cost you a lot of money and whetherthey can recover the data or not is not guarantee.

Computer wont connect to the internet

You will need a USB flash drive with enough space on it to contain the drivers. With another computer, download the drivers by going to

http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/DriverDownload.jsp?prodNameId=403747&lang=en&cc=us&prodTypeId=12454&prodSeriesId=403745&taskId=135

Select your operating system and scroll down to the networking section. Download the drivers and drag them to your USB drive.

Plug drive into the DC5000 and run the installation program or use Windows to find the drivers on the drive by manually pointing to them in the Windows hardware wizard.

I have a GZMG330Au Camcorder with a 30 GB hard drive. All the files were accidently deleted. Is there any way to recover them?

As long as you haven't written over the files, there maybe a chance. attach the camera to the computer with a usb or whatever cable it has so the computer can read the drive.

Go to www.filehippo.com download the file recovery program called "Recuva" Below is the link to the download.

http://www.filehippo.com/download_recuva/download/a1375e31f25039562de4acea79fa0077/


Run this on the computer and direct it to the camera's hard drive. It will attempt to recover the files that were deleted. Now this takes a long time to pull deleted files from a drive, so set it somewhere and make sure the power stays with it. Good luck
