Bad superblock recovery
Submitted by lev_lafayette on Sun, 05/03/2009 - 12:35What do you do when you receive a "bad superblock" error on a USB or other Flash drive? Well, firstly you kick yourself for not backing up important data on said drive for the past nine days; you're old enough to know better than that. Secondly, you kick yourself for using that piece of rubbish called the FAT32 filesystem which was default for Windows 95, but is what every USB drive ships with because it's the last file format released by Microsoft that actually communicates with other operating systems, despite the fact that it's as buggy as hell and is prone to disaster.
