Hi,
Is there any way in which it can be possible to recover a data with a GUI from a USB?
I was trying with some tutorials to do it from the terminal but it was really complex …
I have a USB that give me an error of i/o and the information i found about it is basically for Windows users and there is too an application called EaseUS …
Till now i found nothing ‘reasonable’ on Linux that can help me at least to recovery the data from the USB.
Any idea, application/GUI …?
Thank you very much.
You have the excellent Testdisk from Christophe Grenier to use on Terminal. Before to play with it, my advice would be to do an image of your USB with it by security then You could use it to recover your data without risk to loose…
sudo pacman -S testdisk

If you need only to recover pictures you could use PhotoRec on a faster way. These 2 Apps are powerfull.
O’k but it is a bit complex to me …
It’s not as scary as it looks. Just be sure to carefully read everything before selecting anything. I’ve used this for years under both Linux and Windows and have never made things worse.
thanks, i think i got it …
Well, no i can’t get it, it looks like it is working, doing something but is doing nothing …
It said: Copy are done! but it is not true. I tried many times, same results.
First time i used sudo then root, nothing …
Or i’m doing wrong or it do not work here … i will try later in another system.
I got this information from the other system:

Boot sector
OK
Backup boot sector
OK
First sectors (boot code and partition information) are not identical.
Second sectors (cluster information) are not identical.
A valid FAT Boot sector must be present in order to access
any data; even if the partition is not bootable.
A valid FAT Boot sector must be present in order to access
any data
This is the conclution. (?) 
O’K, now i got it!!.
The application has an option for select many files (it is of course what i was doing) but it do not work for some reason…
Then, i tried to copy one, and it work, then another one, and it works – thanks it was not much information.
I was able to recover some videos, images and PDF, not much.
@FLVAL, thanks! it is wanderfull aplication.
data recovery is complex, and time consuming, and in no way failsave 
You are welcome @Keos, great that you recovered part of your data. 
With Testdisk is safe because you could work on the image that it created from your support…It’s not so easy at first but when you understood the use, Testdisk is really powerfull.
I prefer to repeat again, most important with Testdisk is to not play with it until you didn’t make an image of your source data first !
