I got this error when inserting a flash drive: "The disk you inserted was not readable by this computer." I tried to put it on two old PCs at work and I'm either even worse at using PCs than I thought, or it flat out didn't acknowledge that I put anything in.
It isn't my flash drive. The owner had some files I needed saved on there, but I don't want to accidentally erase anything else that might be on the flash drive. These files are important so I'm really concerned...
I opened Disk Utility since I saw that was recommended when I did a Google search, but this is what it shows... I can't click verify.
I tried to restore it to another USB and it said:
"Restore Failure
Could not validate source - error 254"
Please tell me the data is not lost forever...
(sorry if this is the wrong forum)
