Data recovery?
So my flash drive with my scratch projects broke. Is there any way to get my data back? Can scratch access files that were previously opened?
EDIT: It's a Sandisk Cruzer

Re: Data recovery?
When you say broke, how do you mean? Physically? File corruption?
Often, a physically damaged thumb drive is broken at its interface. If this is the case, a little careful soldering may fix it. If the Damage is to the memory chips or their connected circuitry, you are probably out of luck.
If it is a file corruption issue, Find someone with a Linux based PC and ask them to try retrieving the files.

Physically. The part that sticks out got bent slightly and now it doesn't work.
