Ubuntu :: Recover Files After Formatted Drive To NTFS With Windows

Apr 3, 2011

I accidentally formatted a drive that was ext4 to NTFS in Windows (using quick format only). I tried TestDisk, it does find a deleted partition but doesn't seem to find any files or be able to recover anything. Is there any way I can recover the files?

General :: Get Files In Windows From Partly Formatted SATA Drive (system)?

Mar 16, 2011

I have purchased a DLink Sharecenter Pulse NAS as my PC failed. I wanted to put the two SATA drives in and extract the data before formatting to use as JBOD or RAID. However, before I managed to access my data, the setup software started formatting the drives. I switched it off immediately.

Purchased a SATA to USB2 lead and connected to my work laptop but I cannot see the drive(s). Used Partition Magic and each drive has 3 partitions - of which show about 74GB as used and 2 x 512MB as not. Looks like the drives have been partly set for Linux but the format was not comlete. Have tried to use explore2fs to read them but I cannot access the 74 GB partition only one of the 512MB partitions.

I'm a bit stuck now - any one got any ideas how I can get my files off the 74GB partition before I put them back in the NAS to format.

Ubuntu :: Cannot Read USB Portable Drive

Jan 7, 2011

I removed my old 160Gb laptop drive to install a new 320Gb drive. The 160Gb drive is partitioned as follows: 20Gb unallocated partition, 115Gb ext3 partition (running ubuntu 10.04), and 5Gb swap.

I placed this drive in a portable enclosure so that I could retrieve data from it. The Disk Utility in Ubuntu recognizes the drive but the partitions are not recognized, shows unknown and the only option available is to format the volume. If I place the drive back into my laptop, the drive boots normally and data is accessible.

I have connected other portable USB drives and they work (NTFS formatted), so USB ports are not the problem.

Ubuntu Installation :: Does Portable USB Write To Hard Drive

Jun 20, 2011

If I have Ubuntu installed on a USB drive and run it on a PC (not installing to the PC...just running the Live version), is anything at all written to the host PC's hard drive? I don't want the host PC's hard drive to be written to at all for security purposes. I'd be using Firefox, LibreOffice, and other apps that come with the Live USB version.

Hardware :: Mount Portable Hard Drive

Sep 6, 2010

I'm trying to mount a seagate portable hard drive. I can mount this device on my other machine except for this machine wherein every time I put the device, it was not being recognize. The led of the portable device just keeps on blinking. When I do fdisk -l, I don't see the device. When I do dmesg, I found the ff:

I used to mount this hard drive before and it was doing fine except last month wherein I cannot mount it anymore. I don't want to reboot and use LiveCD just to backup my files because other people are also using this machine (its a samba server). I tried to use other usb slot but still the same. I'm using CentOS 5.3 minimal installation. i tried to modprobe -r uhci_hcd and modprobe -r ehci_hcd and command again modprobe ehci_hcd and modprobe uhci_hcd but still the same.

General :: Unable To Mount Portable Hard Drive On Ubuntu?

Apr 5, 2010

My portable hard drive (WD My Passport), which used to work correctly now does not automount on my Ubuntu system. It does work on a Windows machine or even when plugged into WD HD TV, which is a Linux based device. There's one NTFS partition spanning the whole drive.When I plug the disk in, I see the following in dmesg:[269259.504631] usb 1-2.2: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 20[269259.604674] usb 1-2.2: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choiceHowever it does not mount in GNOME and I don't see it when I type:sudo fdisk -lAny suggestions why this might be? I repaired the partition using chkdsk on Windows, so the issue is probably not filesystem related.

Ubuntu :: Lovinglinux - Portable Version Of Firefox On USB Flash Drive Is Really SLOW

Jul 22, 2010

I have a portable version of Firefox on my USB flash drive. It is really SLOW. I have turned off all of the disk-caching options and have even set it to not remember my history. I only have three addons: NoScript, Adblock+, CS Lite. I could even get rid of CS Lite and manage my cookies totally manually if it means I'll have a faster GUI. Almost every time I interact with Firefox in any way I have to wait a few seconds and I get that damned spinning beach-ball (did I mention it's the OSX version?).

OpenSUSE Hardware :: Difficulty With Portable Hard Drive

Jan 25, 2010

I'm a recent convert from windows machines to linux. From the first distro I tried I was blown away by how great linux is. But opensuse, while it has taken me a little bit longer to figure a few things out, has by far the best. It even allows me to configure my touchpad so it doesn't drive me insane.On to my actual problem. the portable harddrive placed all my files on to when switching from windows mounts but shows up empty.I know the files are there because they show up when i plug the harddrive into my ps3.

I put the all the files i wanted to save from windows into a folder called portableharddrive (i think) and put that folder on to the portable harddrive.if i do a directory search by running the drive in terminal this is what i get.Can anyone help me find my files or do i have to wait untill my girlfriend gets her computer back?

Ubuntu :: Install 10.10 On To A Freshly Formatted Hard Drive?

Nov 9, 2010

Ive got a Sony GRt816S laptop which Im trying to install 10.10 on to a freshly formatted hard drive. I downloaded the file burnt it to disk and tried to run it. I get to the first screen where It asks me if i want to run for CD, install or do memory check. - memory checks works fine but the install and run from CD options just hang before I get anywhere near an actual install screen (or anything that remotely looks like one)

I just see a purple ubuntu screen with 4 dots which alternate between red and white ocassionally. I've left it running over night and nothing happens.I read on the forum that it might be the original file, so tested it on a different pc and it worked fine. I know what Im doing with PCs but am a total novice when it comes to Linux, ubuntu or anything thing non-windows related .

Ubuntu :: Recover Files From Formatted Thumb Drive

Apr 17, 2011

I formatted a thumb drive on Windows (not quick format) that contains files I need (video files). Unfortunately, my attempt to recover them with both PhotoRec and TestDisk failed: neither of them found the files. I know they are still there because I scanned it with some Windows software (File Scavenger) and it detected them. I'd like to try to do this with Linux, to figure out how to do it, and save money at the same time.

Ubuntu / Apple :: Recovering Accidentally Formatted Hard Drive?

Jan 16, 2010

I'm on the latest Ubuntu OS on my netbook trying to make a USB Startup Disk. I have a 1GB USB and a 500GB hard drive plugged in to then netbook. I run the USB Startup Disk program, and it tells me I need to format the USB drive. Okay, so I press format, only to realize that I'm formatting the 500GB hard drive.However, when I pressed format it give me an error saying the disk could not be mounted. I did something on Disk Utility and now I have a FAT32 system on the hard drive with nothing in it. Now my ultimate question is, am I able to recover the data that was on the hard drive?The hard drive was formatted in HFS+, it was a Mac-formatted hard drive. Will I need to use a Mac in order to try to restore my files?

Apr 29, 2010

how to boot Ubuntu from USB flash drive that is formatted ext4?That is, making a portable ubuntu. But not merely a LiveUSB created using the 'Universal USB Installer' or 'UNetbootin' because the LiveUSBs created using these applications are formatted in FAT32 and uses a persistent partition just to save the changes and files.If I have your attention, what we want to achieve is a portable and bootable Ubuntu in a flash drive that is formatted in ext4.
