Yep, reinstalling worked.

I avoid this type of mistakes using # whenever I am doing something delicate

The symbol # is for comments so if you do

$ # sudo command
Nothing will happen because of the # after I did that I make sure everything  
is well written by pressing up and then when I am sure everything is OK is  
when I delete the # and hit enter


This have saved me from mistakes when using rm for example.

I can confirm that photorec is gold, pure gold. It will recover 99% of your  
data. But then again you have it backed up so I don't see how waiting 20  
hours for it to finish (recovery takes a lot of time) makes any sense here.  
Reinstall and profit!

Thanks. I reformatted the USB drive and re-burnt the ISO and now I'm able to  
boot it and am installing.

Well, you have a backup, so it's not that bad. Reinstall Trisquel, and  
restore your backup. To boot from your USB drive, just use your BIOS options.  
You can also use GRUB (edit one of the existing entries).
