hello,i have a damaged harddisk that doesn't even show a partition list (there were two: a fat32 one and an ntfs one).
can i use this method to resuce data to a _partition_? thanks in advance. (taken from http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/Damaged_Hard_Disk) The best method: Antonio Diaz's GNU 'ddrescue'The best solution - both faster and more efficient - seems to be Antonio Diaz's 'ddrescue' (ddrescue <http://savannah.gnu.org/projects/ddrescue/>)
# download ddrescue wget http://download.savannah.gnu.org/releases/ddrescue/ddrescue-1.8.tar.bz2 # extract the source code tar xjf ddrescue-1.8.tar.bz2 # compile ddrescue cd ddrescue-1.8 ./configure && make # first, grab most of the error-free areas in a hurry: ./ddrescue -n /dev/old_disk /dev/new_disk rescued.log # then try to recover as much of the dicy areas as possible: ./ddrescue -r 1 /dev/old_disk /dev/new_disk rescued.log to
