i launched cruzer.exe on my 16GB sandisk flash drive and the next time i try to open it, the flash is seen by the OS but when i try to open it it tells me the drive is not formatted do you want to format it now but then when you try to format it it says can not format the drive. how can i recover my data?

Unfortunatly, from my experiance, your data probably isn't recoverable. The only time I was able to recover lost data on a flash drive that was accidentally formated was with a program called Get Data Back, and I think it was pure luck that I was able to get anything back since the person I was attempting the recovery for formated once and then didn't try anything again until the flash drive was given to me. Also I had to trick the program into thinking the flash drive was a hard drive, it was an older copy of the program, I haven't looked at any versions of it in the last 3 years, and the copy I was using was at least 2 years old 3 years ago.
