DON'T write anything to the drive, to ensure best chance for recovery. You can scan the drive with something like this: www.cgsecurity.org (Personally I've never used it, but it seems to get recommended here quite a bit. I use FileScavenger myself) |

| 1178501 | 2011-02-16 11:06:00 | I tried formatting my USB drive after trying this out and it's smaller than it was! What gives? You need to repartition your USB drive. Use the appropriate tool on your OS to create one large partition in place of the three small ones. For Windows use HP Format Utility or DiskPart if you're comfortable with the command line. Use Disk Utility for Mac; Linux use fdisk. From here chromeos.hexxeh.net |

| 1178505 | 2011-02-18 03:44:00 | You could use Disk Manager in Windows to remove all partitions, recreate and reformat. | Agent_24 (57) | ||
| 1178506 | 2011-02-18 04:56:00 | Download a proper partition manager. www.paragon-software.com OR download.cnet.com |
