The thing is, the data on there wasn't necessarily all that vital. If I put this time into getting some of the files or creating them again, I could probably have had it done by now
But there are 2 main reasons I haven't just done that.
>It's almost a principle thing. I feel like my own stupidity has faulted me here due to a lack of backup, so I want some way to rectify that and make amends>This way I at least learn something newBut now with progress being very slow and me having to sit in front of my laptop replugging a usb and running a command a bazillion times, maybe I cut my losses.
>If you wanna be especially gentle carefully pull back the stick without fully removing it just enough so that it loses its power connection and then slide it back.Great tip, I'm doing that now
>>1280284Sorry but how do I mount the copy as a device please? I'm not really good with this stuff. I'd look it up but I'm harassing my laptops USB port
>>1280355>just used it to recover some family videos I shot a while ago.Hey, I'm glad you managed to recover some stuff! Maybe this thread was of use then. What was wrong with your storage device that caused you to lose your files?
I am running with the logfile, not with verbose. The thing is my USB doesn't disappear every 2%, it's disappears every 0.4% if not less than that. And it only reappears at complete random from me constantly unplugging and plugging in the USB
So it's a very long process and the USB was 256GB, so there's a lot of data to sift through to boot.
