hi.

i just didnt think for a second, and did something very stupid.
i had my fat32 formatted usb drive connected to a notebook, which i was trying to setup/reinstall with ubuntu.
only when the setup was finished, with some error that it couldnt entirerly copy my profile (which makes no sense for me, it was a fresh install), and the notebook rebooted, and didnt boot ubuntu, but the old freebsd that i realised what i have done.
ARRR!!

any guides or websites i could read ?
i guess its rather unrecoverable, is it ?

cheers & thanks,
fil

Most of your data is gone.
If you have very important data it may be possible still to recover some in RAW.

Overvritten data are usually unrecoverable..
you could try to scan the unused space for lost data
