Dear All,

I messed up my wife's USB (FAT16) by accidentally pulling it
from my OpenBSD box before it was completely umounted.  Running
fsck_msdos is producing message

"Invalid signature in the boot block 2700"

Windows 7 is reporting USB drive as non-formated and chkdsk tool is
not even attempting to recover anything.

Could people who are familiar with forensic/data recovery tools share
their wisdom with me and let me know if I can repair this thing and how?

In the past based upon recommendation on this list I used PhotoRec to
recover "erased" pictures. Some other recommendations that came up
during that conversation were:

sysutils/testdisk
sysutils/sleuthkit
and
fatback

I wonder if any of those would help now?

Thank you!
Predrag Punosevac
