Again. How do you do this when the disk is not listed in /dev? In your example,
the
drive/partition you want to work on -is- listed as /dev/sda5. In my case, the
damaged drive is
-not- in /dev.
Sorry, I used a disk for my example fdisk output.
In this case, if i didn't have /dev/sda5, but I did see /dev/sda (the
entire disk), I would rescue the data directly from that.
ddrescue /dev/sda sda.image
If there wasn't even a /dev/sda , then I'm probably in trouble, as the
system didn't recognize the drive at all.
