Q. I understand generally the technology involved in data recovery on magnetic media, but would like to know how data recovery is possible on flash memory? How is there any trace of deleted data? How does the software do this?
A. There are two forms of data recovery for flash memory, one in response to physical hardware failure, in which case it is usually an interface issue, and specialized hardware is required to do this as the interface is physically replaced.
The scenario it appears you are asking about is the second, in which the data has become inaccessible but still resides on the flash memory. This would be due to issues such as a virus infection, failure of interface programming in the USB Flash Device, etc.
In this case, essentially what the software attempts to do is instruct the USB device to pour out a copy of everything it contains so that the software can attempt to make sense of it instead of the USB device translating into an operating system friendly form.

I have a USB drive and my friend has a data recovery software?
Q. So my question is I want to know if there's any special method to remove the data completely from a USB drive cause when I formate my USB and I give it to him, he recovers my data. Please tell me such a method by which data can not be recovered even with strong data recovery software. Thank you very much in advance.
A. if you want to remove all traces then you have to wipe the drive with random data to do this yourself just copy another file onto the stick, so say a nice image of a dog over and over calling the file 1 2 3 4 and so on, delete those and all he will be able to recover is a picture of a dog. If you wan to do this properly do a google for drive wipe software but be careful you might accidentaly wipe your main drive.
