![]() I just dont know what to do before I call tech, and they tell me my sansa is a piece of ■■■■ and send it in cause im stupid or something. Now if I am the one who is the problem I will take the blame, but I’m beginning to think this sansa connect is a piece of ■■■■, even though before recovery it worked good, should never have made the mistake of using the recovery tool as it will not recover anything, so if anyone knows anything, anything at all about this tool please I beg you to help me, make this thing work. Today I am going to try this on my daughter’s pc but most likey it wont work either, there is no little box that comes up telling me it is working, it just asks me do you want to run this program now? I click yes and nothing happens. Or you can beat on every permutation of the SecureAccess software and vault data like I did until you start to learn its tricks.Ok, heres the deal, I have tried and tried to get this recovery tool to work, I dont know if I am completely stupid or what but I cannot get this thing to work, I have windows XP and I have tried all the advice I have gotten so far, tried different ports, tried downloading different times, have tried rebooting my pc so many times now, nothing works. ![]() By swapping like this, you eliminate all problems related to the PCB board, connector, and controller. Requires soldering, you might want to buy a couple empty drives first, prove the flash chips can be swapped before trying it on your drive with precious data on it. Remove the flash chip (since Recuva showed it to respond and had files on it), and put that chip into an identical model flash drive. For data recovery, I’d start with Recuva (free) and move to Stellar (pay) if you need it.Īnother idea I had was to swap the hardware parts around. dat file in vault corresponds 1:1 with files stored there. I bought Stellar home for $40 and it got every single file, although was very very slow (8 hours to get 1.6Gb). The free ones did not get all the files but got most of them, but unfortunately not all the system files needed for decrypting. Also I tried 3 flash drive recovery programs. It is not a reliable medium or long term storage solution, only a temporary transfer mechanism. Get your data off it as soon as possible. Although dragging directories containing directories did not work (had to move one at a time), no biggy as long as my data is safe now.Īdvice: Consider this a temporary storage device. Then I was able to drag my files safely to the hard drive. The duplicate vault was gone and my vault tree showed up. At one point an import created 2 vaults at which point I closed the program, deleted the file belonging to that redundant vault and restarted it. I had to hack and try variations of the recovered system files and the newly created vault storage files. ![]() I finally got it to work by trial and error. Maybe its something where one or more of the system dir files on the new flash drive need to be used instead of using every one from the recovered drive. Certainly Sandisk or the company they outsourced the development of SecureAccess to, has a method for using encrypted files recovered off a dead flash drive (when you know the password). Its pretty clear I need to use SecureAccess 2.0 to read and decypt this recovered vault data set. Is the key based on the serial ID of the flash drive? If so this would be a terrible design making recovered encytped files useless without the original fully working flash drive. When you think about what the binary system dir files in the vault must manage (there are 4 or 5 of them), they need to know the password, the file structure, and some type of encryption key. Unfortunately my attempts at reading that data by either (1) dropping it onto a different Sandisk Cruzer running the same version of SecureAccess 2.0 or (2) trying to import the data through SecureAccess’s recovery feature pointed at the recovered data, both failed. Luckily several recovery programs were able to read and fully recover the encypted vault data and it resides on a hard disk now. My Sandisk Cruzer Glide flash drive started giving the “please reformat” popup and is no longer recognized except for an OS assigned drive letter that doesn’t respond.
