Recently, my USB memory stick was not detected when I attached it to the computer. Previously, it worked just fine. But then no drive was popping up neither on Linux nor Windows.
I used the dosfsck and testdisk command to fix the file system and restore the partition table, but it did not work out. The memory stick now shows up as a drive, but it is completely empty. None of my former files is present.
The USB drive has a physical capacity of 4 GB. KDE's file manager Dolphin claims that the drive now has a total size of 4 GB, too. However, it also shows that 1.8 GB are in use, even though there are no files visible.
I suppose the file system is still messed up. 1.8 GB is about the size of all files that I had previously stored on the flash drive. How can I fix the file system or partition table to restore my files?
The drive is not locked and still writable.
