Re: Recovering data from NTFS disk



The filesystem on the disk is clearly toast.  Mounting it as the wrong
type won't help.  Start looking at forensics packages:

magicrescue - recovers files by looking for magic bytes
myrescue - rescue data from damaged harddisks
scrounge-ntfs - Data recovery program for NTFS filesystems
autopsy - graphical interface to SleuthKit
dcfldd - enhanced version of dd for forensics and security
foremost - Forensics application to recover data
guymager - Forensic imaging tool based on Qt
sleuthkit - collection of tools for forensics analysis on volume and
            file system data
tct - collection of forensics related utilities

There are, no doubt, others.
