<div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false">There is a Linux app called TestDisk that is a powerful utility for retrieving files and partitions that would otherwise be unrecoverable. It runs from the command line, but if you follow the online instructions it should be within your grasp.

<div style="color: black; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 12pt; line-height: normal; font-family: impact, sans-serif; font-size-adjust: none;">I have an 18 GB HP USB stick with mostly photos on it. I had mounted the device and had a computer lock up. I was unable to close the file system before I rebooted the computer [ Open SUSE LINUX].
<div>Subsequently I was unable to mount the stick in either Linux or Windows. I tried running <span style="font-style:italic;font-weight:bold;">sudo df </span>to see if I could see the stick at all. It does not show up. Is there any way I can repair the file system on this USB Stick? If not, how can I reformat the stick when I can not find it with the terminal?</div>
