    Alright so i restored my computer and put a lot of stuff on my Corsair 16gb Flash Voyager. When i first plugged it in my newly restored computer i opened it up and it wouldnt let me copy things to my desktop. Then it changed from drive label "Corsair" to removable disk f. when i try and click on the disk it says "insert a disk into drive f". I unplugged the usb and plugged it into another usb port. It came up as corsair and then the same thing happened. I also tried in safe mode and it came up as removable disk f. I have really important things on this drive that i need to get off. Is there anyway? Thanks

    Not sure if we have the same problem, but I had that problem on an older computer. It wouldn't do anything if the drive was in. It would say nothing was plugged in. I think I restarted it and it worked.

    you could try using unstopable copier to get some files off it.

    You've not done anything stupid like turned the lock on or something, have you? :D

    When you plug it in to your PC, can you view the files?

    If not, you could try taking it apart and soldering it up to a USB cable, instead of the USB end it has now. For all you know, it could be the USB connector that's broken.
