PNY Attache Data Recovery

I have recently bought an 8 GB PNY Attache USB flash drive for data portability.

Anyhow, I have lost my data. Is it possible for me to recover my data from the PNY Attache flash drive?

Instead data resides in drive only but you will not be able to access them because its access pointer is removed from table entry and its allocated memory is also freed to store other data.
