Hello Andrew, thanks for your time and help.
/dev/sda is the 2gb drive indeed. /dev/sdb8 is the 100gb partition formally formatted in reiserfs. As you said, probably it is not there anymore. never mind. it was empty anyways. btw. is 'sarak' some directory on your pc? It sounds a lot like my name which is spelled 'safak' :) I guess the entire 2gb (should be) on the /dev/sdb8 partition since the processes finished with no errors. As you suggested I entered sudo parted /dev/sdb8 unit B print Warning: GNU Parted has detected libreiserfs interface version mismatch. Found 1-1, required 0. ReiserFS support will be deisabled. Error: /dev/sdb8: unrecognised disk label returned: 1 Any ideas why this is? What to do? I would probably ddrescue the usb disk again but it took a lot of time which I don't want to invest again. I don't know what took so long to rescue 2gb but it was nearly two days.
