    Mac: USB flash drive fubared. Lost partition table I think

    Any suggestions for data recovery software? I've tried Data Rescue, Disk Warrior, and Disk Drill.

    Disk Drill has found the most files so far.

    I got pics and video. But I will upload them in the morning. I need to smoke this nice phat joint and just close my eyes and replay the amazingness in my head.

          I think it should've been FAT32. I recovered what I could and gave up on it. Tried formating and that didn't work either. Must've been a pretty catastrophic failure.

          Thinking of looking into online backups, you have any experience in that?

              There are quite a few options for Fat32, Getdataback and Recuva are the two I've used a lot in the past.

              For backup (only photos and videos of my daughter from my phone), using Dropbox, paid $99 for the 1 year 1 TB option.

                  Getdataback and Recuva look like Windows programs?

                      Yes, although I think they may have Mac versions too.

                          I'm no computer genius - but you had your computer partitioned via a USB Flash drive?

                          It was fun while it lasted...

                              I was referring to the partition table on the flash drive. I thought that got corrupted hence I couldn't access the files. But when I tried to format it Mac's Disk Utility told me 'it cannot write to the last block' which sounds like the drive might be physically dead.
