May I do anything to get the data back?

Ouch... Looks like your file system is corrupt. I'm not sure if it can be recovered.

If I try to open one of these things, It tells me strange things!   (picture)
Translation:
F:\Presentation Drugs\Mouseklicks in the presentation\$pý means a path which is not avaible. That may be on the hard Drive of your computer or in network.Make sure, the media is correctly sticked-in, or that a connection to the internet is avaible. Then try again. It may be possible that the data was moved to another path on your computer or in the internet, if the path still can not be determined.




These datas are on a USB. Every other data is ok and works perfectly.

This has happened to me once with my calc USB drive. Basically, the files don't exist but the USB flash drive is saying that they exist, so Windows can't find them when it tries to open them. The way I used to delete them was msd8x - I don't know what other methods there are for deleting or recovering them.

I do not know if it would work but try using a file recovery program such as recuva.

You could probably try running CHKDISK on it to try to recover the filesystem, but don't expect much. Depending on what exactly is corrupted, it's possible the only thing you can do is reformat it and try using it for something else, while keeping an eye on it and keeping safe copies of data somewhere else in case it happens again.

Ouch I hope you had nothing precious in there. I never had this problem but that sounds pretty bad.

run it threw recuva that should find the files that got lost. then run  chkdsk on it and that should fix it the rest of the way. ive lost count of how many times this has happened to me :/

How did you do that? o.o I've had a flash drive corrupt, but I'm pretty sure it was the flash wearing out. Nothing spectacular, just a couple of random copy errors.

i always manage to do it by Yanking the flashdrive at the wrong times :P

this is basically a file table error thing where the file table gets messed up by some stupid means. hell i've done this just by plugging a flash drive into a computer :/

Yeah try a CHKDSK or a fsck.

Homer-16:
     Thanx, but I've already tried it with recuva.
     One time it told me, there are no files.
     The other time it told me, there are files, but it can't repair them.  :P

TravisE:
     Er...
     This were my copies of the datas. My teacher has the original ones but this teacher has already left the school  :P
     what is CHKDISK ??? It sounds interresting  :D

DJ_O
     This were the datas.
     But I've still a few of the objects in another presentation. (But only a few of the pics, and nothing else)
     And I gave them in a flash-data (.swf) I've made that with iSpring Free: http://www.ispringsolutions.com/free_powerpoint_to_flash_converter.html (http://www.ispringsolutions.com/free_powerpoint_to_flash_converter.html)
     But I don't think I'll be able to extract them from the .swf but I'll try it!

Juju:
     ??? what? ???

This is a CHKDSK.

http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/CHKDSK (http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/CHKDSK)

This is how to run it in Windows 7.

Also for your information fsck is the Linux equivalent of CHKDSK. You probably don't need to know that.

So yeah a CHKDSK run will probably fix your drive. And maybe delete a couple of corrupted files too.
