How do I restore the access route or path to my flash drive.
I had a document opened from my flash drive when my PC shut down and I had to remove the flash drive in order to start the PC up again. Now when I try to open the flash drive again, it says the path has not been restored and I have lost all the info in my flash drive.

Panic!!

Try inserting the flash drive in another PC. If you can see your files on the drive on that PC then copy them over to that hard drive and format the flash drive.
