Hello Joe. I really feel for you. Losing personal memories like that can be heart-wrenching. There may be ways to recover your data, although there are no guarantees (unless you have a back-up). If I were you, I would seek help on any of the official or community support channels of Ubuntu.
http://www.ubuntu.com/support I would recommend ubuntuforums.org, askubuntu.com and the #ubuntu IRC channel. Since this bug has been fixed in the latest versions of USB Startup Disk Creator, you're unlikely to find help in this bug tracker. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/443330 Title: USB Creator does not warn or ask user to confirm before formatting disks To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/usb-creator/+bug/443330/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
