Well guys, I think I'm going to try and do data carving. I only need to recover .doc off of this drive so I'm giving PhotoRec a go. My image unfortunately stopped creating after I guess I flooded my NAS while trying PhotoRec (on the new drive - backing up to my nas :( ) on my lunch hour. ddrescue stopped with an I/O error....I think I can restart it from the point it left off, right?
