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 I have found The Sleuth Kit very useful for FAT, as well as other file systems. I don't use the tool very often, so I prefer to use their Autopsy add on...permitting me to manage the analysis and recovery with simple automation. -- Sent from my phone. Please excuse any idiotic automated word choices. It wasn't me. Honest.
