To attach an existing EBS volume to a new EC2 instance without data loss:- 1. Check for active write operations on the volume and wait for them to complete. 2. If attached, detach the volume from the original instance in the AWS Management Console. 3. Ensure the volume status is "available." 4. Attach the volume to the new EC2 instance. 5. Connect to the new instance and mount or initialize the volume. 6. Verify that the data is intact and accessible.
