Any suggestions for data recovery software? I've tried Data Rescue, Disk Warrior, and Disk Drill.
Disk Drill has found the most files so far.

Mac: USB flash drive fubared. Lost partition table I think

Re: Mac: USB flash drive fubared. Lost partition table I think
Sorry man, no experience on MACs, what is your FS? is it EXT3 or EXT4?
Re: Mac: USB flash drive fubared. Lost partition table I think
I think it should've been FAT32. I recovered what I could and gave up on it. Tried formating and that didn't work either. Must've been a pretty catastrophic failure.
Thinking of looking into online backups, you have any experience in that?
Re: Mac: USB flash drive fubared. Lost partition table I think
There are quite a few options for Fat32, Getdataback and Recuva are the two I've used a lot in the past.
For backup (only photos and videos of my daughter from my phone), using Dropbox, paid $99 for the 1 year 1 TB option.
Re: Mac: USB flash drive fubared. Lost partition table I think
Getdataback and Recuva look like Windows programs?
Re: Mac: USB flash drive fubared. Lost partition table I think
Yes, although I think they may have Mac versions too.

I'm no computer genius - but you had your computer partitioned via a USB Flash drive? :shock:
Re: Mac: USB flash drive fubared. Lost partition table I think
I was referring to the partition table on the flash drive. I thought that got corrupted hence I couldn't access the files. But when I tried to format it Mac's Disk Utility told me 'it cannot write to the last block' which sounds like the drive might be physically dead. :(
