Corrupt flash drive help

[Grimspoon]

I have a corrupt flash drive, when plugged in on XP it asks me to format it. On Windows 7 it just hangs and cannot access it.

Some pretty important stuff on it that I need to get off. Any recommendations please?

I'd go for one of the photo/flash disk recovery tools over a hard-drive recovery app. Good luck, hope your files aren't nuked.
