plug in the usb disk and then wait for a few seconds (~ 5 seconds) and
see what you have in the kernel log ( run the command "dmesg ?| tail
-n 30" on a terminal). Copy paste the output of that command in a
reply so that we can see if it is just an error with the partition
table (or something similar) or a bigger issue.
oops , sorry I guess I missed out the links in the first mail, if you
are looking at recovering the data on the drive the best thing to do
is to create an image of the disk and then do whatever you want to do
on that image. Use dd.
For example , say your pen drive is attached to the node /dev/sda2 ,
do something like this :
dd if=/dev/sda2 of=drive_backup
then you will have all the data on the drive also on the file image
drive_backup, you can then try recovery tools on the image.
