  1. this video is completely absurd.
  2. total crap! don't know who started this thing about Ubuntu as a way to recover files, but it damn sure hasn't worked for me. I just don't believe you should have to go through so much junk to get something to work. gotta download packages to get the software to even attempt something but you can't download the software because it uses up your ram in the live setting and stops once the ram is used. just too many headaches to be something worthwhile.
  3. Please i wont to know if i can run this operating system on windows 7 because am using windows 7 pls help me out
  4. after connecting the hard disc it doesn't show me the options .. it just opens up by itself and tells me that particular folder is corrupt . what should I do pls ???
  5. Thankyou for such a great solution!!

  11. Hi, just want to ask.. cant we just copy the partition in the external disc to other partition of the same external hard disc? do we really need another different external hard disc?
  12. Ubuntu didn't recognize my corrupted Ex HD. Nothing showed up on the laptop screen. Though it recognized a new EX HD. I can see all the files & folders in that new one. I'm using Ubuntu 14.04.2 LTS. Does this method work with this version? 
  13. Brilliant! Thanks so much. Just saved an external USB drive full of 500GB of images and video quickly and easily. The drive was coming up as Local Disk must be formatted etc, scary. Thankyou for posting.
