You could always use disk drill. I use that for any supported filesystem I have here (including NTFS, EXFat, HPFS (many of thee BSD’s use this), OS X journaled FS and many more. It can recover, under limited circumstances even a partition table.

I guess it should be able to read from windows seeing as it us a JPG and not some exotic open source file:!) I guess it just got corrupted. The question still remains, is there a way to recover the files on the drive? I hope so, There were pictures on that drive. My entire south carolina trip!

Have two problems with those directions though: 1. that requires admin privileges and I don't know how to do that. 2. when I stick the drive in it gives me the insert drive tone and then the disconnect drive tone and never assigns a drive letter to it. Then it repeats that until I pull the drive. And if I've kept the drive in there long enough it keeps doing that after I've pulled the drive. 3.
