I copied a file to a usb thumb drive from another usb thumb drive (actually I CUT & PASTED). I then accidentally pulled out the usb drive I copied to. Now the file is gone on both drives. Is there any way to get the file back? I'm use to windows were I do not have have unmount - I just pull it. But on Xubuntu I must dismount first else I've noticed I loose it all. I really need this file, is there any way? -- </blockquote></div> I've sucessfully recovered deleted files in the past using the "photorec" application, which works in the terminal, but its website has excellent documentation, and since the defaults are most often correct, it's not difficult.
