I was using the dd command to copy my entire flash drive in 'blocks'. I was using the following:
dd if=/dev/sda bs=16M of=/filepath/filename
I was half asleep and I hit enter after dd if=/dev/sda, instead of hitting the spacebar.
Simply, since I don't know what hitting enter after dd if=/dev/sda did, so I would just like to know if I made recovery efforts for deleted/stolen files from my flash drive less likely.
I checked the flash drive and the amount of data present after I hit enter was the same.

dd if=/dev/sda, with no other argument, will read /dev/sda 512 bytes at a time and copy its contents to standard out.
This won’t have changed anything on the USB drive, and won’t have affected potential recovery efforts.

Thanks for the info. Can you recommend an excellent recovery tool I can install on my linux system to recover deleted/stolen files from a usb flash drive that is FAT formatted? Or should I use a windows system to try to recover the files?
