If you plug a USB device in and it's recognized, it will show up in the
output from dmesg about 1 second after you plug it in as something like
sd 2:0:0:0: [sdc] Assuming drive cache: write through
sdc: sdc1
"dmesg | tail -n 40 | grep sd" should give you something like that
right after you've plugged it in. In the example above, the first
partition of the disk is visible at /dev/sdc1 , so I would then do
"mount /dev/sdc1 /mnt/somewhere" to look at the files on it.
Or you can look at "ls -lt /dev/disk/by-id/" and pick out the most
recently added partition.
If the filesystem or drive is damaged badly enough, then this might not
work.
