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
