I hope anyone can help me, and I hope I'm able to explain my problem, because my know how is very small. I have a pen drive witch I made it bootable using unebootin. Inside it was ubuntu 11.04. I boot from the pen normaly and it worked. After 10m or so, ubuntu crashed (still using the "live cd" option). When I started the pc, it didn't recognized the pen. After that, ubuntu doesn't recognize my pen, and windows sees it as a hard drive, but it doesn't let me acess the pen. I can't even format it. I don know what to do, and, as I told earlier, my know how is very, very small.

Any advices and solutions are welcome.

As simple as possible, please. I'm starting the world of computores, and especially, the world of Linux (Ubuntu).

Thanks.

Newb to Ubuntu Resuce Remix.
Please advise on how to go about to fix and recovery my data in the harddisk.

Thanks and regards

I've found a computer with Ubuntu updated to 10.10 from 10.04, three partitions, one for /, another swap and the last /home with a user profile encoded (pgp?) from the beginning of the 10.04 installation.

I'm looking for a solution to recover the date from that profile in the /home partition. Note that there is no much free space in it because of this profile used by the former single user of the system.

Txs & Best regards to all the community!

How to retrieve Data from unformatted Linux Partition

I have a jam to get out of. My windows crashed and I decided to install Ubuntu (to hell with the games my kids like). I have two physically seperate drives. I started to format one drive and wasn't paying attention. I have a great amount of my children's baby pics on that drive. I aborted the install and can't mount the drive as it is half formatted. It was originally NTSC. I NEED to get those pics back or my wife will kill me (when she finds out). Help me please!

Hello,

The most recent automatic update has killed my OS.

The problem is I need to recover folders and files sitting on my desktop. So I proceeded to boot from a liveCD thinking that I could then navigate to my home\Dana\Desktop and recover my folders/files but when I navigated to \home, there wasn't anything to recover.

Someone had told me about Ubuntu Rescue Remix. I downloaded v.10.04 and made an ISO image. I put the freshly created Ubuntu Rescue Remix in my CDRom drive. The system booted up prompting for boot: "drive" and the CDRom has been blinking like it is working for at least 10 hours now. Is this normal? Has anyone successfully tried out Ubuntu Rescue Remix? Please let me know. My heart is sinking thinking that I may not be able to recover my folders/files.

What else should I have done to recover these folders?

Thanks for reading.

I'm using Ubuntu 9.04 for Drupal development. This morning I accidentally removed my www folder in directory. The folder has many of my web development documents.

I just restart my system after it happened, and I installed some recovery software like gpart. Is there any way to recover my www directory and files?

Thanks in advance.
