Re: Need help recovering hard drive
Dear Dennis,
I found at http://andrew.daviel.org/XP-disk-recovery.html, an
interesting strategy to use Linux to recover data from a hard drive with
NTFS system.
Perhaps the same strategy could be used for a HD with Linux (using "dd")
...
dd if=/dev/sda1 of=sdb1 # aborted
dd if=/dev/sda1 of=sdb1a skip=2035000
I then made a file to fill the gap, and joined the pieces together. I
could then mount the resulting file loopback:
dd if=/dev/zero count=704 of=zeroes
cat sdb1 zeroes sdb1a > XP0
mount -t ntfs -o ro,loop=/dev/loop1 XP0 /mnt/test
...
