Disk Drill will scan your USB flash drive (also called a pen drive) and find files that have been deleted.<\/p><p>Read on for a quick overview of the steps needed to recover files from a flash drive on macOS.

If you notice physical damage (burnt smell, visible damage, unusual sounds) or if the drive doesn't appear in Disk Utility, contact a professional data recovery service immediately. For logical corruption where the drive appears but shows errors, avoid formatting it and use data recovery software instead. Disk Drill is a great choice because its byte-to-byte backup feature can be used to create a complete backup of the corrupted USB drive, and you can then safely recover your lost data from it without risking further corruption.<\/p>                <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n\n        <\/div>\n                <div class=\"block-FAQ__tab\" id=\"question-bf89ca1\">\n\n            <div class=\"block-FAQ__tab-heading\">\n                <div class=\"block-FAQ__tab-title\">\n                    How do you fix an unreadable flash drive on a Mac?                <\/div>\n                <div class=\"block-FAQ__tab-icon\">\n                    <svg class=\"transition-all panel-toggle\" width=\"16px\" height=\"16px\"\n                         viewBox=\"0 0 16 16\"\n                         version=\"1.1\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"\n                         xmlns:xlink=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/1999\/xlink\">\n                        <g stroke=\"none\" stroke-width=\"1\" fill=\"none\" fill-rule=\"evenodd\">\n                            <path d=\"M7,7 L7,0 L9,0 L9,7 L16,7 L16,9 L9,9 L9,16 L7,16 L7,9 L0,9 L0,7 L7,7 Z\"><\/path>\n                        <\/g>\n                    <\/svg>\n                <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n\n            <div class=\"block-FAQ__content\">\n                <div class=\"block-FAQ__content-body\">\n                    <p>Open Disk Utility from Applications &gt; Utilities and select your unreadable USB drive from the sidebar (if the drive isn\u2019t listed there, then it\u2019s possibly seriously damaged and not fixable).
