 On the subject of USB flash drive / data recovery,
 OK if the computer can see something to mount .

 But, what could be done, if the computer / OS refuses to
 see a USB flash mem key or any unrecognized device
   ie: my Rundisk 1Gb ' UR24 '  .
 Nothing to mount ?

 A quick fix to use the key again at a mates place, how embarrassing !
 I had to download a Windows GUI exe file, and run it on a windows
 comp just to get it recognized on any computer again,
 it was a re-initialize / format piece of software.
 that was the only time i ever had a problem with it.

 But if the data was important, or even not,
 What software could i have used to achieve that using linux.
 Is this the same problem with other brands of USB keys ?
 Cause personally, i hate to justify the use of windows for anything.

 Any ideas what could be done if it happens again, 
ie: without using a windows comp ?
