[QUOTE="bravebird, post: 142988, member: 9121"] still nothing i guess. i dont think it scanned a thing. seems not to be recognizing the usb :( ill attach allscans anyway dont tell me my USb is fried :( :( :( i have some REALLY important things on it i did not back up yet. any other options i might have? the computer is still recognizing the drive as i plug it in but for some reason i cant access it...i dont think it's fried, just a virus or something strange. if it were fried wouldnt it be true that it wouldnt be recognized at all by the computer? might i also add that the name of the drive changes often.... I have 3 different usb ports on my laptop and in each one the name is different for the same USB drive. i guess i renamed the usb on each different portal so now it changes whenever i switch the location of the USB stick Also...i've been trying to remove the USB using the USB removal tool and it gives me this prompt: "windows cant stop your "USB memory.." device because a programs is still using it. Close any programs that might be using the device and try again later." [/QUOTE]
