   Hello everybody!

OK.. I've got a USB disk that worked fine.. then started to have some hissy
fits.. wouldn't write during rsync ops...

So for some reason it seems that it was getting hotter than normal, although
its been sitting in that spot for the last 6months or so???

Anyway... tl;dr

I put testdisk on a box... and it CAN FIND the partition that is there, that
won't mount now... and it CAN SEE THE dirs in the partition so there is hope it
 might recover the data...

BUT

I'd like something that walks thru this step by step, that I can review, think
on, review , think on review some more...

I think I am just going to have Tarjay send me another 4TB drive and back up
the original and then use this for a test to learn how to recover the partition
 and put back to use at least to read stuff.... and possibly recover another
drive that exhibits similar behavior. (Was stoped, unmounted, removed, and now
wont remount..)

So any one got some GOOD for RISK AVERSE persons tutorials, FAQ's etc.. for
testdisk?

I looked at their site and it seems more geared to HD experts vs. I just want
my stuff back (nothing critical) person.

Thanks


Rick
