Greetings;
One of my hard drives quit working, and as luck would have it, just
before the scheduled backup! So I need to recover some info that has
been updated/added since the last backup.
First, is there any thing I can do to get the system to mount that
drive even with errors? As it is right now I get error messages at
boot time and the drive isn't recognized. Apparently doesn't make any
difference whether the drive is on controller 0 or 1 or is master or
slave.
Second, is there any program that I can use to get data of off that
drive?
TIA for any help!
Dennis
Boot from system rescue CD with your defective drive and a new (same
size or larger) drive. Use ddrescue to copy the drive to the new drive.
If the defective drive can't be recognized, you may need to go to a data
recovery company to get them to pull data from the drive.
