Try connecting it to another computer and check if you can access data. If not then you will have to format the driver and you will loose all the data

    To be honest, there isn't any effectivedata recovery software that you can use for free. Paid versions might help.

Terrible happened ... disappeared all the important information from your flash drive or memory card! What could be worse than the loss of information for someone who is constantly with her work? Accidentally formatted a memory card in the camera with interesting pictures are doing on vacation? Formatted USB-flash cards with very exactly what you want, but backup is left? All is not lost! Lost information can try to recover.

Method for restoring data use the program PHOTO REC (TEST DISK 6.10).

The Computer cant open the USB Flash Drive. It said that it is not formatted so I try to Format the Flash drive via command prompt. The command prompt said "The first NTFS boot sector is unwriteable....
It should be the file system problem. Usually a usb drive should be formatted to FAT initially instead of NTFS. Recommend you try the USB on another computer and see if the problem still occurs. If yes, then try format it from Disk Management of your computer. If you can't format, use TestDisk (also a command line tool) to fix the file system error. You can also see from this blog post to learn more about the possible reasons or solution. Regards

How to recover flashdrive transcened 4gb v30, it can detect but i can't open?
Files on a flash drive can be corrupted if it is not removed from the USB port properly.
Before removing the flash drive click on the Safely Remove Hardware icon and then click on the flash drive you want to remove and then remove the flash drive when the computer message says it is Safe to remove.
To restore the flash drive you may need to format the flash drive, but you will lose the data stored on the flash drive.
If you need the data on the flash drive this program may help: -
