Please unplug the unnecessary devices, try other USB ports, and see if the device can be recognized. If the issue persists, please check if other USB devices can be detected.

If the issue still exists, it seems the USB drive is damaged. Do you have any important files? If you have, it's worth trying a data recovery tool like iBoysoft Data Recovery. I thought this post would be helpful for you: https://iboysoft.com/data-recovery/usb-drive-data-recovery.html

After data recovery, you can try Diskpart as gjacobse said.

The software I installed was a free Trial
it wont let me actually recover anything until I pay for it...

1. Wanting to use only Free fully functional recovery software means your data is not valuable to you.

I have recently tried the following data recovery tools:
Piriform Recuva
Cgsecurity Testdisk

On a formatted partition with good results. But some files were corrupted or lost.

2. There are many more free programs most are a cut down version of a commercial package.
   A few recover a limited number of files for free or show you what could be recovered if you Pay for a license.

Based on my experience, though those tools are paid, they are more professional and find more good results than free ones.

I would recommend to you:
iBoysoft Data Recovery
EaseUS
Disk Drill

Please note that If you look for an unformat option if you have not written to the formatted partition since it happened (although windows will write to the drive anyway ). Because how successful they will depend on how much has been written to the drive since formatting. Therefore, you'd better use another hard disk eg USB, SATA, or over a network to a hard drive to recover the data.

Moreover, depending on the value of data ask for professional help or carry on recovery yourself.

Everyone makes mistakes. But the past experience, if not forgotten, is a guide for the future.

Have you checked the SMART values to make sure the drives are degraded and bad? If the drives are good a simple chkdsk may resolve your issues

Anyone had any luck mounting SQL Server 2005 MDF/LDF to a new SQL Server version
You can move SQLServer 2005 to a new Server version by following this guide: https://solutioncenter.apexsql.com/restore-sql-server-backup-to-a-newer-version-of-sql-server/

@scottalanmiller Thanks for your reply. It is giving a Memory Card Error message in the camera, so it is definitely not usable there anymore either.

I tried on both Mac and Windows. The problem is that the card will not mount at all, so the system (and hence any software programs) do not acknowledge that there is a card there to try and rescue data from.

At this point, I think my only option is probably going to be asking for help from a commercial data recovery service...

SD card not showing up on MacBook
I have an adata brand 16 gig SDHC card which became corrupted in my Canon S90 (it looks like a lot of people are having problems with this card). When I put the card into the card reader, the volume does not show up on the desktop of my MacBook Air 2017, or appear at all under Finder -- no error message or any other evidence that it is attached in any way.

I have done some basic troubleshooting in this post: https://iboysoft.com/mac-data-recovery/sd-card-not-showing-up-on-mac-computer.html

I've tried to show the SD card on the desktop and in Finder, but to no avail. Then I've checked the SD card in Disk Utility, but I couldn't be able to see it listed on the left sidebar.

I have also tried a variety of card recovery programs on my Mac, like Photorec, EaseUS, iBoysoft. And on the Windows side booted under VMWare. But since the card is not mounting at all, none of these programs can see the card to try to recover anything.

Does anybody have any suggestions? I really would like to recover these photos.

I experienced quite a few reboot loops as an avid Android user. I've tried Safe Mode and everything works ok.

Wait for the manufacturer name to appear on the screen while it’s booting, then press and hold “Volume Down“. This should place the device into “Safe Mode”. If the device starts successfully in Safe Mode, you may have to uninstall problematic apps or undo a setting that may have caused the issue.

@jmoore I have used FreeNAS several times and have implemented it at work. It’s rock solid and simple to use plus it has a huge support network
