Help recover files from a crashed Flash drive

[Demirel]

I have a USB flash drive that was used primarily on a Mac.

Today when i plugged it to the computer, it didn't worked. The drive doesn't show up in the Finder. I can't format the drive because i have my assignments work on that, i'm in a big trouble now! I don't know a whole lot about "recovery" software so I figured I'd ask you guys.

What steps can I try (I have access to a Linux machine as well) to see....if I can get ANYTHING off the flash drive?

But my question is have you tried it on other computers and get the same result? If the drivers are gone corrupt then you need to re-install them. It could also just be your USB connection going bad in the monitor. So check it first. And
If nothing working I would suggest you to download the demo version of Stellar Phoenix Mac data recovery software.
