HELP Needed (This is not a bug report)
Posted: 25 Apr 2015, 18:37
Please remove this thread after some time. I am posting it with the hope to get some help to my BIG problem.
First of all, I am stupid..., yes, I am stupid.
I was installing the Kiosk Edition on a USB drive. I did it many times and it works well. Unfortunately, this time I have not realized that I had connected to my PC also a 1TB USB HD with important documents... I connected the USB drive I wanted to install Kiosk on, I opened Konsole and I used the "dd" command to transfer the ISO on the USB drive but, unfortunately for me, I pointed to the USB HD instead. As a consequence the MBR of the USB HD got reset...
I am stupid also because I do not have a safe copy of that USB HD, where I had very important documents...
At this point, I know that most of the USB HD data have not been physically erased, only the portion where the Kiosk has been installed (61MB) but I can not see any more the original data (yes, I know that the MBR was reset... and the HD now is showing "00" for about 950GB...)
Can any one of you try to help me to find a way to try to recover some data from the USB HD? Originally the UDB HD was FAT32 formatted.
Many thanks in advance for your help and sorry to bother you with this problem....
