Today I inadvertently deleted the partition\fat on my 16gb USB stick... bugger! Looking around for some recovery software, I came across findandmount (http://www.findandmount.com) they do a free version for home use. worked an absolute charm, found the drive and partition, then mounted it. I copied all the files off and reformatted the drive. Phew! panic over.
Only problem is that it's a windows programme >:D but any port in a storm, eh? ;D
Strangely windows refused to reformat the drive, for some reason, no problem in Linux though.
Well worth keeping a copy for "those little emergencies" :thumb:
Thanks Ted. :)
Handy to have around. Thanks, Ted. :thumb:
You could have always tried Testdisk (http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/TestDisk) (it's in the Debian repositories - I assume other distros will also have it).

Just noticed, it's multi-platform too - Windows, Linux, MacOS, DOS, BSD and SunOS
I've just done something similar, and found Acronis Disk Director did a good job of getting me out of some very deep sh*t! :red:
