@[email protected] @[email protected] The program for disk recovery I used was something that works at the disk sector level. It's called ddrescue I think, and has nothing to do with dd. It's brilliant. It creates a map file of your disk's sectors, then repeatedly tries to read sectors, forward, backwards, random read, for hours on end. It keeps its progress in the map file so you can cancel and resume it at any stage, and it applies different methodologies to try to scrape data back from a dying drive. #linuxtip
