Comment 12 for bug 446891

Just an addendum. Testdisk could SEE linux partitions as well as the new FAT partition on my WD USB external drive, but it could recover none of it as it indicated that it was "corrupt".

I'll never use the ubuntu usb creator tool again nor recommend its usage, until and unless I see that it has been fixed and updated to include warnings as well as a better dialog screen to show the drives neatly rather than with the pitiful little scroll field it currently displays.

Until then I'll consider it as dangerous as the "rm" command.
