      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   
      
      
   ... NOprah!
