What is USB Repair

USB Repair is a fast and reliable rescue utility for USB flash drives.

USB Repair is a Windows program that provides a number of useful utilities for USB flash drives. A primary use for USB Repair is to repair files that have become corrupted and restore files that have been deleted. Corrupted files can happen because of an error in the write process, and USB Repair can either rebuild the file header or use a restore-like process to replace the missing bits. Sometimes files are deleted accidentally, but fortunately, they are not truly deleted until overwritten, so USB Repair can often recover them in whole. If only pieces are available, USB Repair can often rebuild all or part of the deleted file.

USB Repair also supports the reconstruction of folders and entire hierarchies, and it supports a full range of USB sizes. Support for larger sizes is dictated by the OS, so sizes above 4 GB may be unsupported in some cases due to Windows limitations. Additionally, restore operations tend to fail at a greater rate when dealing with USB flash drives smaller than 128 GB due to the likelihood that the drive has reclaimed those areas for new storage.

USB is a snap utility. What that means is that USB Repair has a small footprint and does not require installation. The benefit of this configuration is that you can store a copy of the program on any USB flash drive that you use and have it available for immediate use in case a file is corrupted or accidentally deleted. In the file found list provided by USB Repair, the application indications the file recovery likelihood based on the amount of good data available. If the user acts quickly, such as in the case of a recent deletion, then recovery likelihood is usually high.
