More tips (untested), found via some random reddit thread: FreeBSD only: Ctrl-T when any base util running (SIGINFO) pkill -USR1 -x dd ddrescue watch -n 30 'pkill -USR1 -n -x dd' Even more tips found at TestDisk site: http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/Damaged_Hard_Disk And (for non-*nix) I also found a tool called "Win32 Disk Imager" ("A Windows tool for writing images to USB sticks or SD/CF cards"): https://sourceforge.net/projects/win32diskimager/ "... is designed to write a raw disk image to a removable device or backup a removable device to a raw image file." (So it can read [backup] or write or verify image.) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Check out the vibrant tech community on one of the world's most engaging tech sites, Slashdot.org! http://sdm.link/slashdot _______________________________________________ Freedos-user mailing list Freedos-user@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-user
