A directory in my external drive contained 1tb data, and when accidentally unplugging, the directory shows empty when opened and in properties...
When I go to delete directory, shows "error: directory not empty"
How to resolve this?
I'm creating an image of my 1tb file and used the command: Sudo dd bs=976624564 if=/dev/sda of='/media/ubuntu/externaldrive/image file.img'
I checked block size with command "sudo cat /proc/partitions" and got the block size above, but when I tried "sudo blockdev--getbsz /dev/sda" I got 4096...
The first command is still running and creating the image of my 1tb disk drive in my external drive, but wanted to know if entering what I feel incorrect will gives errors in recovering data?
I created a copy of my 1tb HDD drive from ddrescue and wanted to mount this IMG file to then recover data from Photorec.
How to mount an IMG file as if it was an actual HDD/pen drive inserted by USB. Please explain in detail as I'm getting the hang of ubuntu systems; used to use Windows.
I mistakely installed ubuntu over my 1tb drive removing essential data and photos which took about 5 mins to install, so I want to know if I can use ddrescue in Ubuntu to create a virtual image of the drive to and then use TestDisk/Photorec to recover lost data? Or is it more recommended to use testdisk straight on the HDD drive?
I want to format a new external hard drive from Ubuntu and was wondering can I later use it on my windows system to transfer files?
So I wanted to install Ubuntu on USB, and I think I installed it to my 1TB hard drive instead. The hard drive has/had very important data on it, mainly family photos and work assignments...
Doing some research, I want to use testdisk to try and recover my data and I was wondering if I can recover them to the same hard drive as what was overwritten If that's possible?
