Q. I know there is recovery software available, but the problem is that I don't have the USB drive anymore. Is there still anyway to get the data back? I don't think so but I figure it wouldn't hurt to ask...
A. Hi,
sorry but without the flash drive it's gone, and the recovery software most times doesn't work as well, so always backup to disc. sorry to tell you.

i ran scandisk, but it didnt help.
I have data recovery software, but it would take weeks to scan and recover that much data.
is there a 3rd party scandisk that fixes this sort of thing? or should i send the drive back to WD while its still under warrenty?

A. Send the drive back. The master boot record is shot. Using a product such as Wipe to completely clean the drive might fix it, but if it is still under warranty and you still have the box you should send it back.
