USB Thumb drives are NOT a reliable storage media. I have several of them but I do not depend on them for backup. It sounds like yours has expired and I don't know of any way to retrieve the data.

Sounds like you're pretty sure iit's the fash dive. Data rcovery services are availabe. Here's one:

You could also try a known working usb device in your pc to verify your usb controller is working properly.

Some manufacturers offer data recovery at reduced rates for thier own products. Try a search with the manufaturers name and 'data recovery'.

Here some more information about the issue.
Other computer can not able to detect it. Even "new hardware found" wizard is not coming, when I am trying to connect any PC. It seems my pen drive gone faulty.
Okay..Is that any way to get my data back from it?

I find that not all USB ports are equal and neither are devices. I have two USB flash drives. One works just fine on my external hub and the other is slo mo. Plug the slo mo in the back, and it runs decently. Plug the slo mo in my computer at work and it hauls.

Ray, it looks like he has tried it in other computers and none of them can recognize it. The key is toast.
