What Happened To My Pendrive

What's happened with my pen drive? How to rectify this?

Well if your pendrive was working well earlier then it is highly likely that the space is unallocated.Solution 1: First you will have to access your disk management utility in windows. From the Start Menu or from the Desktop, right-click on the Computer icon and  choose Manage from the menu. This will open a Computer Management window.     Now click on Disk Management, on the left-hand side under the category labelled Storage. You should be able to see your pendrive on the right. If it shows unallocated then simply right click on your pendrive and create partition with the max size of your pendrive.Once done your pendrive should appear as a new volume drive. Now format it as usual and your pendrive should get back to normal.Solution 2: (If Solution 1 does not work) - check if files are hidden Now we shall be using attrib command (as the name suggests - used to change attributes of files) in MS DOS. Click on start and run CMD (Commnd Prompt)Type this command attrib -h -r -s /s /d x:\*.* (where x should be replaced by your drive letter) FYI: -h stands for hidden file attribute, -r stands for read only file attribute, -s stands for system file attribute, /s stands for process matching files in the current folder and all subfolders and /d stands for process folders as well.Hope this helps.

What happens when a Pen Drive (Flash Drive) is connected to a Current or electricity?

Are you asking what happens when you plug a USB flash drive, into a phone charger?  Come on.  Be honest.I ask this... because when you connect your USB flash drive to a computer, it is being connected to a 5 volt DC power source.... and being fed half an amp's worth of juice.  So.  You tell me.  What happens when you connect a flash drive to electricity... based on your experiences of connecting flash drives to computers?What will a flash drive do when you plug it into the USB port on a phone or tablet wall DC adapter?  Nothing.  You won't fry it, and it isn't going to start broadcasting data or anything.  You'll power it, but it won't do anything with that power.  What happens when you connect a current to components on the flash drive that aren't supposed to get current, or that STRONG (over 5v) current?  You blow them.  They get damaged.  They cease to function properly.

What happens when we format a pendrive with FAT32 or NTFS technically?

Considering only FAT32 and NTFS file systems. What is file system ?A file system is the methods and data structures that an operating system uses to keep track of files on a disk or partition; that is, the way the files are organized on the disk. The word is also used to refer to a partition or disk that is used to store the files or the type of the file system.Now initially when the pendrive is made, its in RAW state ie no file system, so when we format it with any file system, the method/procedure the file system was defined to store, manage and present the files to OS is stored in "System Volume Information". File system is also responsible for managing permissions etc that is why we say that NTFS is more secure than FAT32.I'm not expert on this, but hope its clear to you.

What is expected to happen if I put a pen drive in my USB charger?

The charger will consume electricity to power the USB stick, but the the charger does not have the ability to access the data on the USB stick.Since the USB stick does not contain a battery or charging circuitry for a battery the device would only remain powered but inactive.It is likely the USB device will perform some minimal amount of boot up once powered to prepare itself for communication by a computer or other device over USB, but after that it would simply wait for communications. Those communications will never come because the charger lacks the circuitry, connections, and logic to handle communications with a USB device.So the device would only consume power, it will perform no other action. This is similar to how most older cable TV boxes will consume power when they are plugged in, even though they are technically turned off.The charger would perform the same exact behavior with a cellphone, but the cellphone would store the unused power for later using charging circuitry to charge an internal battery.The USB stick if plugged into a computer would be powered just like it is here, except once powered the attached computer would attempt to communicate with the USB stick and then it could present the user access with the files on that stick.

What will happen if I use my recovery pen drive for Windows 10 to copy some other data in the free space?

If the pen drive is not write protected and if you are able to view the contents of the drive, you should, technically, be able to write new data to fill its free space.The recovery process is programmed to look for a particular executable file to begin the process, followed by the supporting files. As long as the existing files to perform Windows 10 recovery are not tampered with or deleted, it should not make a difference whether you add new data to it.

My pen drive is wet!!?

You buy a pendrive of the exact same type then you disassemble both. Find the short-circuited components and exchange them with parts from the new USB using a small solderer. Of course you can pay a professional to do that, easier. There is a big chance that your data can be recovered this way, but of course not 100% sure.

You could take it to an electro technician and that way you don't have to buy another pen, he will just replace the damaged parts and if it is not the main memory then your data will be recovered.

(BTW I wrote this in case the data was really important and invaluable)

I dropped my pendrive in the toilet once, I was lucky because I still use it today. :)

What to do if pen drive get wet?

It should be fine once it is completely dry. You can also try using a hairdryer to help it along, just dont get it too close that it melts it. Otherwise just let it air dry for maybe 24-36hrs just to be safe, and you should be just fine when you plug it back in. It should be ok with sunlight through a window, but don't put it outside.

Just be sure you DO NOT plug it in when it is still wet. If you do that, then electricity will pass through it, and fry your drive and ruin your data.

What happens when a pen drive is soaked in water for about 5 hours?

Well to be frank such an incident has happened with me. I had forgotten my pendrive in the pocket of jeans which was washed later along with the pendrive. While putting the jeans to dry the pendrive fell out of the pocket. I connected it to my laptop instantly and found it to be working pretty fine without even a single byte if data loss or anything. So according to me there will be no effects on the pendrive even if it is soaked into water for about 5 hours.

While i open my pen drive there is an error occured like cannot find script file... How to open my pen drive?

There was previously a virus on the pen drive bt it was removed. The script it's asking for is the one that runs the virus to copy it to your system.
Go to Computer and right-click on the pen drive and click "Explore". It should open a new window, but it's best you eliminate the script that's causing it.
If you have hidden files shown, find a file named "autorun.inf" and permanently delete it (Shift+Del)
If you can't view hidden files, go to Start > Programs > Accessories > Command Prompt.

Type in the pen drive's letter followed by :, as in "E:"

Then type the following:
attrib autorun.inf -s -h -r

It should then appear in the pen drive's folder. Now you can delete it.

Hope it helped

What happens if an OTG pen drive is connected simultaneously to a phone and a laptop?

Both your phone and laptop would reject it. Because when both the devices are connected to the pen drive at once, one of the device might pull the bus line to a low value(0V) and the other devices might pull the same bus line to a high value (5V). As a result a short circuit would be produced and both the devices would isolate themselves from connecting to the pen drive.
