A. Ouch, not much you can do other than try it on another computer. If you fried that drive, you are sol. Wait till it cools off and try it later. Get a higher-end decent flash storage device next time. Make sure all your pins are clean too and keep a cover over the USB plug end when you aren't using it.
Can anyone tell me how to fix a pen drive and recover the data if got burn by a computer?

A. 1. Do not save any new file to pen drive.
2. Connect your pen drive to computer. You should see pen drive shown as a drive letter (like H:) in Windows Explorer.
3. Download recover software, recommended one is asoftech photo recovery (simply because i was using it and it worked)

How can I retrieve data from my hard drive?
Q. I managed to spill iced tea all over my laptops keyboard the other day, but I pulled the battery out before anything short circuited. How can I get the data from my hard drive without turning the laptop on? Can I take out the hard drive and connect it to another computer? Thanks.
A. There are a couple of fairly easy methods but they require a certain degree of technical savy and the ability to follow instructions. This said--probably the easiest solution is the use a "Hard Drive Enclosure", Simply place the affected hard drive inside then connect to USB of another computer. This will allow the hard drive to be seen as a "mass storage device" and files can be accessed,

If you are using Windows--you will need third party software although if you are willing to use a version of Linux--there will be no need to purchase special data recovery software. Puppy Linux is often used by Amateurs and Pros alike to retrieve data from hard drives. I will give the basic instructions and locations to accomplish this task.
#1. Acquire the ISO of Puppy Linux--Go here ----> http://www.puppylinux.com/
#2. After you have downloaded the file it has to be burned to a disc. I think Windows 7 can do this but XP and Vista will need a special program outside of the Installed CD burner. Below is a link to a Good Free Utility that will do such.

#3. Once the Raw Image of Puppy is burned to a disc. You are ready to recover the data. However YOU WILL NEED TO ALLOW PUPPY LINUX TO BOOT YOUR COMPUTER. Most likely the computer is set to start from Hard Drive. You can manually change the Boot Order to allow it to start from CD/DVD Drive.
#4. While your computer is running Place Puppy Linux in the Optical(Disc) Drive then Restart..Select Start from Disc Drive in the Start Up Options(BIOS). Then Reboot a 2nd time. Puppy will Boot the Computer.
#5. Select "Drives" from Puppy's Desktop Options/Icons and it will display the connected Hard Drive. Double Click and you can begin copying files from it to a flash drive or other external source that is connected.
Good Luck.
