testdisk is applicable to a thumb drive?

#1 Post by nweissma »

cursorily reading the documentation, i can't immediately discern whether testdisk can be used for a thumb drive.

the thumb suddenly stopped blinking and WE does not acknowledge it.

i had more than 13gb of content on it.

how can i use testdisk to recover these files ... and if i can't use testdisk then what can i use?
