Anyone have any ideas as to what the CHS values should be, or another method of fixing this drive from everything I’ve read it should be possible to fix this drive. Most of the examples out there are for HDD’s or flash drive of different sizes. The step by step guides say the next step is to try changing the sector size and then run the analyse again, but I’m not sure what to set the Cylinders Headers and Sectors to. Most forums direct me to Textdisk as an option to fix the drive but when I run the analyse it doesn’t see any partions and gives a - doesn’t have endmark 0xAA55 - error.

I’ld rather not reformat the drive as I would really like to get those pictures back.

So I’ve got this 16gb Cruzer Switch drive that I used to back up all my pictures from my computer before doing a format and restore It worked before I did the restore on the computer but after I reloaded the computer and tried to put the pictures back on the computer the flash drive would keep giving the windows error - “You need to format drive in disk f before you can use it.” I’ve tried all the data tools out there and all of them only see 64mb - RAW system and can’t read anything file wise on the drive.
