"I
have a Sony memory stick which contains many important data including photos,
videos, music and some documents and more. Recently, I was unable to access the
memory stick normally because when I inserted it in my camera, it says memory stick needs to be formatted. If I inserted the memory stick to my laptop,
Windows PC also reports that memory stick is not formatted do you want to
format it now? If I format the memory stick, will I lose everything stored on
it? However, how can I access the data if I do not format the memory stick? Can
you tell me what to do to fix the error and get back lost files?"
