General :: How To Retrieve Lost Data On A Usb Stick
Jan 24, 2010
My wifes computer, IBM desktop, running XP, was hit by malware. I managed to save the data and tarred it and copied to a USB memory stick using my Linux box Ubu 9.1). I checked and saw it had been truly saved. Two days later I put stick in USB port and it was not recognized (usually any hot plugable device shows up immediately on desktop). I have tried plugging it into a windows machine and nothing was found. We are both very desperate at this apparent loss but because something similar happened with an Iomega zip disk.

A directory /test/test1 is created & under /test1 there are some files & subdirectories with data in it. I had copied the files (text & script files) with command as,
cp -irv /test/test1/.* /test as per the requirement but what i see in destinarion i.e, /test that no files or directory has been copied in /test & the files/directories is also removed from source i.e, /test/test1
so my query is how can i get the files/directories back with data?

I didn't realize my system drive had filled up... and TaskWarrior overwrote my 'pending.data' with a 0-byte copy. d-: I had worked SO hard to get all my tasks imported from various other notes (many of which I deleted along the way), and hadn't yet prepared for the possibility of data loss. Should've set it up to use my Dropbox...why doesn't TaskWarrior make ANY backup buy default? That data is so important, and yet so small and trivial to backup. Anyway, my 'undo.data' is totally intact and seems to contain all the information theoretically needed to reconstruct 'pending.data'. Unfortunately right now I have no sample 'pending.data' to look at. d-: OR: does anybody know of a simple Linux utility I can use to recover previous file versions? It's possible no data was overwritten, since the replacement is empty.

I have a laptop that had Windows XP on it - XP crashed out and I couldnt retrieve my data of it, despite booting up in safe mode, it just didnt want to do anything. So i thought i will load ubuntu instead then try and recover my data - bad move. Now my question is, can I still retrieve the windows data of the hard drive despite having Ubuntu installed on the same drive? I know on windows there is an app called File Scavenger that recovers deleted files even after loading a clean slate of Windows on it. Is there something like that for Linux? I had photos on it that has some real sentimental value. The rest of the data I dont care about. Just the photos. I didnt think before I reloaded it.

My son's laptop with Ubuntu on went belly up, so before we dumped it I salvaged the hard disk.....now some weeks later he remembers there is some things he wants on the disk. Luckily I had done nothing with it ....have just connected the disk to my system I can see everything above(should that be below) home but not anything in his account. Any bright ideas for getting at his data is there a way of mass changing permissions or whatever?

i setup the following script ro run each night (12am) as a cron on the main server:
if mount | grep -q '/home';
then
rsync -ranv --delete /home/ 138.73.56.12:/home;
[code]....
the main server is running on a dell poweredge 2600. The script rsyncs to a virtualised duplicate running on a hp dl380. when i set this script up and begn running data started going missing from the main server. if new files had been created the files by staff they would go missing, if data was added to existing files prior to activating the script the new changes made to that file would be lost.i just cant understand why this happened. as soon as i turned the script off after a few days it was all back to normal but the data that had gone missing had gone missing.
i just wanted to know if this could be a disk read/write issue, was the script running too soon not allowing data to be written before it can be backed up? could it bee memory? i just dont know. another developed occured after a few days of all this happening, which was one of our hard disk from the main server started mis behaving and flashing amber (attention).

I am trying to make use of the perl module WWW::Nike::NikePlus to retrieve the data from my ipod but apparently I have no idea what I am doing. I installed the package just as the readme said including all the dependencies. I cant really figure out how to run it, i searched for how to use it and found this : Example use that retrieves and prints your last run information
use WWW::Nike::NikePlus;
my $username = 'my@email.address';
my $password = 'MySecretPassword';
my $locale = "en_us";
my $pin = nike_authenticate( $username, $password, $locale );
unless( $pin ) { print "Authentication failed
"; } .....
#Details of the last run
my ($unit, $last_run_dist, $last_run_duration_millisecs,
$last_run_duration_friendly, $last_run_pace_friendly) = nike_last_run();
print "Last run: $last_run_dist$unit in $last_run_duration_friendly
";
print "Last run pace: $last_run_pace_friendly per $unit
";
So I put it in a txt file and saved it with the extension .pl and of course I put in all my info in the username password fields then made it executable with the command sudo chmod +x nikeplus.pl and when I try to run it with either ./ or perl I get this output:
brandon@desktop:~/Apps/nikeplus$ ./nikeplus.pl
./nikeplus.pl: line 1: use: command not found
./nikeplus.pl: line 2: my: command not found
./nikeplus.pl: line 3: my: command not found

./nikeplus.pl: line 6: syntax error near unexpected token `('

I am looking for a program to help me store, organise and retrieve information. The aim would be to keep notes from literature, concepts and ideas which i come across during my studies. It's always a hassle to retrieve this information when i have to write a paper for instance. So in fact what i need is a sort of wikipedia-like program where information is searchable and where perhaps hyperlinks could lead me from one word/note to another.

I should have seen this coming when I lost the ability to boot windows, or mount that drive from ubuntu. But now I think my hard drive has failed. Is there any way to retrieve the data from the hard drive, or my settings and the like for ubuntu? I'm at a loss for what to do as i'm booting from a CD right now =X.

I was using 9.10 Ubuntu and was going to update to 10.??. Being an intelligent person, I made four (4) backups of KMyMoney on different diskettes and thumb drives. Now, the problem, after reinstalling my O/S (new version) I reinstalled KMyMoney and found out that the newer version of KMM will not read the data I have backed up.What I need is a way to obtain an older copy of KMM so I can retrieve my data. Then I can update.

My computer has broken and I cannot login. I don't know what caused it.
I am using Fedora 14 and so it is easy to retrieve my files with the Fedora 14 installation disk under the 'restore' option. I cannot however, work out how to retrieve my MySQL data.
Would anyone be able to shed some light on this matter?

I have a fully up-to-dateCentOS 5.6. As of some very recent package update (later than May 12), sound-juicer is unable to retrieve track data for any disc; it just reports "Unknown Title" and "Unknown Artist".
Unfortunately I do not know how to tell which particular package it was, or even how to get a list of recently-updated packages.
Tracks are still extracted fine, it's just the musicbrainz connection which is doa.
I'd be happy to try an alternative program with musicbrainz capability, but couldn't find any. The installed k3b doesn't have any ripping options in the tools menu, where I gather it's supposed to be.

(Logger pro is an app to retrieve data from scientific calculators/ instruments) I've always wanted to ask this question so here it goes... Has anyone gotten Logger pro (Linux beta) to work w/ Fedora? I have tried alien the two .deb packages to .rpm's so it becomes installable.. The installation seems fine, But the app doesn't run (I think it was like segmentation fault or something... I don't remember) anyways.. this is not absolutely important. I'm just wondering if this may be a problem w/ my install.

I have never used Linux before and know nothing about it . But my cousin installed a Fedoro linux CD on my laptop which previously had Lotus symphony . Unfortunately my laptop had single partition and so Linux overrode the old OS ,ie lotus symphony .
I have some critical data on my hard disk but I have no clue how to take backup this data using Linux . I desparately need this data .
Could somebody let me know how I can access this data and take the backup ?

Is there a way? My computer has a newer, narrow-plug hard-drive. Not Linux specific, I know, but I'm in a bind.
EDIT: Picked up an I/O Magic 2.5 inch IDE/SATA enclosure.

I'm trying to use wget to retrieve some data from our tape backup utility (HP Command View 1/8 G2 Autoloader). The URL requires two parameters for the info I want to retrieve. I have searched for a few hours and have tried numerous combinations to get the data but the parameters aren't being executed. I have escaped the URL as well.
Code:
wget --user=x --password=x --recursive --no-clobber --page-requisites --html-extension --convert-links --no-parent -O ssi.html "10.0.x.x/inventory_status.ssi?mag_0=1&mag_1=1"
returns:
Code:
<HTML><HEAD><TITLE></TITLE></HEAD><BODY>
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="javascript">
top.location.href='logout.ssi';

Has anybody noticed that delete in Ubuntu 10.10 is only compatible with Ubuntu. E.g. I have a usb stick with 2 movies on it. Delete them using ubuntu's Gui just right clicking files and move to thrash so the drive looks empty. then i physically remove the drive and put it into a windows xp machine and all the files are still on the stick just put into a folder called thrash.
I also reformatted the usb stick Fat32 inside ubuntu and when i put it into the windows machine the file names were still there. (The movies were currupt and unplayable in Windows.)But still its very strange I suppose i'll just have to Blow up my usb if i ever need to destroy the data on it.. Just let me know if this has happened to you guys before. (I had Bootable Backtrack 3 on one of my old usb's that I gave to a work colleague.
I know that deleting and reformatting only deletes the indexing info for the OS but i always thought that deleted files couldn't be accessed by the average computer user.

I updated my up to date F12 to F13. I have what must be a 640X480 display with no way to change it. I get an error:
"Error: Cannot retrieve repository metadata (repomd.xml) for repository: pgdg90. Please verify its path and try again" on all Yum commands so no yum installs are possible. I don't have the /usr/bin/GLX command So theAIGLX doesn't work.

I have a probably kind of unusual problem - when a USB stick is connected to the PC and data is copied from/to that stick, I need to know how much data has been copied. The data itself if not interesting, just how many bytes. I unfortunately don't have access to the program that does the copying, and most of the data doesn't end up on any drive (it just gets read and discarded), so I can't simply check the size of a target directory or something like that. I have had a look at usbmon, but that seems to produce way too much data - the normal case would be around 10 gig of data being read, and I can't have that blown up by a factor of 10 and lying around on the hard drive

I was trying to free some memory as my /var was about to fill.I went to Add /remove software and ried to remove some of the unwanted software and it asked for dependency and i clicked ok.After a while i saw some of my aplication like Evolution,Empathy blackening and i killed the Uninstallation. I was sure by time that something wrong has happened and i did not switch off my monitor so that i can retain my application.I tried lot to increase teh /var so that i can update my yum and install some lost application but allin vain i tried Gparted which can only decrease the size .
I had 40 GB unallocated space so i tried to boot from Live Fedora 12 DVD and was able to see my all the files and filesystem.
All my data in /home was intact.I tried to go to grub and went to boot hte kernel and Initrd and was able to go to #root but again was not able to update the system as network was missing.The SYSTEM was Not booting and stuck in between.
Tried to change the /var to var1 copied /var content to /var1 and made changes in teh /etc/fstab still did not work ,so finally went to repair with Live cd but could not get "Linux rescue" anywhere not even to upgrade option so finally installed the New linux without touching / and /home partition rest were deleted and formatted for new instalation.Now i could not see my data in /home directory although i could see data in /root(old) and all ..i am now lost ..my data is nowhere ..please help me.I can only see /home(old) but it says empty and shows 6 GB unused and 3.3 GB used when seen in Gparted .

I got my livna, and rpm fusion repositories in order today, and my dvd started playing movies, but when I tried my cd rom, nothing happened when I inserted a music cd. I googled for info and came accross a blog talking about permissions. And when I right clicked on my cd drive icon and looked into permissios, it said: "The permissions of "CD DRIVE" could not be determined. The open with tab was blank, so I selected "Rythmbox" and thought that would fix it, but it's still not doing any thing after inserting cd. Also if I try looking up the cd from within Rythmbox, the cd doesn't show.

A few days ago I accidentally deleted a video file from the trash and I am looking forward to recover it but google could not give me a hand. Even worse I don't remember the name of the file.
Is there any specific free software for this? Or command line? (I am not good at it but can learn fast).

I have recently installed ubuntu 10.04 aside to my windows 7. One thing I tried out was to share firefox and thunderbird profiles. I have a separate NTFS partition for sharing stuff.Everything seemed to work fine. I had all my browsing history and bookmarks and emails shared nicely between windows and ubuntu. But now I have managed to lost data twice already (in one week time). The data itself is not so important (no need to recover it). But I'm just curious, why is this failing?
I use firefox ProfileManager (firefox -ProfileManager) to create a new profile. I did it in Ubuntu. I created a new folder on my Share partition and pointed profile there. Everything works fine. Profile is saved there and I can use it in Ubuntu. Now, after I shut down Ubuntu and go into Windows 7 (which was hibernated the whole time), the given folder is gone. And in Ubuntu, the folder is also gone.There are some other folders, which I created during my Ubuntu session, which are not visible in Windows, but are visible in Ubuntu.Does any one have any suggestions, how to make sharing data possible? Or why is my data getting lost.
