OK, hands up, I done the unforgivable!
I downloaded the Beta Ubuntu 12.10 and tried to write to a usb stick
using 'Startup Disk Creator' which previously worked very well
particularly with Ubuntu (but not always others). This time it would not
acknowledge the .iso, after a google I copied a recommendation to use DD
command. DD IF=blaa blaa blaa OF =dah di dah. Proceeded to get the input
file IF correct, but yes, forgot about the output file! You might have
guessed I wrote the the D drive 500GB (sdb) and not the usb stick (sdc).
Don't laugh I bet you have all done it!
What recommendations do you have for a rescue program to get as much of
my data back as possible?
Walter
Photorec (http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/PhotoRec) will rescue lots of
files -- but WITHOUT their file names. So you'll be left with lots of
tedious work examining each file and working out what its name should be.
Good luck!
cheers
