\nHere is the website for the TestDisk and PhotoRec software that
\nwas used to recover your flash drive in Linux at our last LinuxChixLa meeting at
\nPhilippes:<\/p>\n
http:\/\/www.cgsecurity.org\/wiki\/Main_Page<\/a><\/p>\n It is also available for Windows and Mac OSX.<\/p>\n To install and run TestDisk and PhotoRec In Ubuntu Linux:<\/p>\n \u201csudo apt-get install testdisk\u201d from a terminal and then run The detailed instructions for running PhotoRec are demonstrated on the TestDIsk\/PhotoRec is usually faster at data recovery than Ddrescue, but Knoppix Linux Live CD has TestDisk\/PhotoRec and Ddrescue already installed! The Ubuntu Rescue Remix Live CD (http:\/\/ubuntu-rescue-remix.org\/<\/a>) is also a great option.\u00a0 It includes TestDisk and Ddrescue as well.<\/p>\n
\n\u201csudo testdisk\u201d or \u201csudo photorec\u201d
\nBoth the photo recovery program and test disk are included in the
\ndebian package.
\nThe PhotoRec software is what was used to recover the files off your
\ndead flash drive.\u00a0 It will recover many types of files, not just multimedia\u00a0![\":-)\"](\"http:\/\/blog.linuxchixla.org\/wp-includes\/images\/smilies\/icon_smile.gif\"){kind=icon}

\nDdrescue is more thorough and efficient:

\nDdrescue and fdisk is what I always used to use until Chad gave us the heads-up
\non TestDisk\u00a0<\/p>\n
\nHere are the instructions for using these utilities in Knoppix:
