Well the fact is simple and dramatic. My daughter had a usb external hd, = formatted as Fat32 filesystem, where she was keping all her jpeg = photos.=20 Accidentally I used this same usb drive to copy the = FreeBSD-11.2-RELEASE-amd64-memstick.img using the classical sudo dd if=3DFreeBSD-12.0-RELEASE-amd64-memstick.img of=3D/dev/da0 bs=3D1m= At the end of the process I became aware of the terrible mistake and = I've never used the usb hd to start Freebsd. I wonder if I can try to recover the jpeg files from the 'extinct' fat32 = filesystem. Surfing the net I found many solutions and I'm somewhat = confused (photorec?). In order to avoid the hanging, is there anyone of you experts able to = give me a useful hint for this specific case? Ciao Vittorio =20=
