If so, boot up the linux you have on your flash drive and try running these two commands, and copy-and-paste the output from both into an email back to us:
df . (That's four characters, then hit Enter.)
lsblk
(That's five characters, then hit enter.)
A little bit of knowledge can go a long way.
I'm familiar with working with the terminal. I wish there was a way to copy the results to a disk or I could photograph the results and paste the photo here, but I don't know how to do that.
You can use the "PrintScreen" key and it should save a photo. Or you can simply use the mouse to select the text, then menu edit/copy, and in the mail program edit/paste. As simple as that.
Otherwise, take a photo with your phone and post it.
I will try to enter what I wrote down:
df . Filesystem 1k-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on airootfs 4013344 1060 4012284 1% /
That, of course, just tells the size and available size of the flash disk aka rescue system, the current disk (that's what the dot means, the current disk). Yes, if it is an USB you can simply save files there (if it is the XFCE rescue system I told you to use).
if you use instead "df -h" it will tell the sizes of all the disks present.
lsblk NAME MAJ:MIN RM SIZE R0 TYPE MOUNTPOINT

sda 8:0 0 465.8G 0 disk | sda1 8:1 0 465.8G 0 part
This is a 500 GB disk, it seems. Not mounted.
sdb 8:16 1 7.26 0 disk | sdb1 8:17 1 7:2M 0 part | sdb2 8:18 1 1.4M 0 /run/archiso/bootmnt
sdb seems to be the rescue system.
sr0 11:0 1 102.4M 0 rom
This could be a CD.

I hope that's all correct.
The important part for you is the nvme disk, you can see three partitions.
The question is, how can I read files off the nvme partitions? I assume that the three partitions are the two "working" partitions for the system plus swap. (The recovery disk already told me about the nvme partition names. I can clearly see the working partitions, I just can't access them.) --doug
