my tails persistence isnt loading

last night i was moving some btc

i left it up for like an hour to let it run thru some cycles. came back and it went thru, it

turned off my computer, turned it on this morning

logged into my persistence and nothing is there. internet didnt connect, electrum didnt save, my key is gone.

i have used the same usb and persiatence and this has never happened before. how can i get my key and everything back?

now i cant log into my alphabay account with 2fa because i lost my key and my btc is sitting my alphabay account.

i have my mnemonic and all my recovery stuff so how do i go about recoverijg an account?

is my coin still going to be there?

this is my first real problem and im starting to worry my coin is going to be lost, i still dont understand why all the sudden overnight my persistence decided not to work

You can try installing TAILS to a new partition/drive and booting from it while the problematic partition/drive is connected. Its persistence should be automatically detected, but if not, there's still the possibility you can get to it via Applications > Utilities > Disks.

As to what might have caused it, the only thing I can think of that could cause something like that is turning off the PC or removing a USB drive while it's writing.

Hello, same thing happened to me. Browse into: /live/persistence/TailsData_unlocked

and you should find everything in there (as long as it prompted for your password at start up). Including your pgp stuff. You'll have to manually import your gpg keys each time you log in since persistence is screwed up but at least they are they are there.

Hope that works.

Now I keep everything on persistence AND back up keys to another encrypted flash drive

Isn't there an option when booting up to boot with the persistence? Did you maybe miss that?

I hope you have your info backed up!
