Hello,
My 3 yrs of manually collected data was lost when I tried to create a Bootable Windows USB without formatting existing data as instructed in following tutorial:
http://www.intowindows.com/how-to-make-bootable-windows-usb-without-formatting/
Basically, it shows to copy all Win7 installer files to USB and using EasyBCD to make it bootable. All went fine until the last step, when I hit "Yes" in EasyBCD. BAM!!, the usb became unusable. Although, Windows was still detecting the usb drive but the drive properties shows "USED space 0" "FREE space 0", file system "RAW".
Can anybody advice on a "safe" way to bring the usb back to the stage it initially was, i.e. before attempting the tutorial. I am not sure but I think EastBCD may have just overwritten the boot-sector (or it's not that simple, I don't know) Anybuddy ?
