Hi, I am trying to recover files from a WD 2tb external drive that is apparently dead. I tried ddrescue on Mac Os x 10.8 but the disk was not recognized. Now trying on OS X 10.4 with some success. The destination drive is a new 1.8tb with 1 partition. Here is the first run. It shows 8 hours but was running much longer than that. http://old.nabble.com/file/p35726265/Picture%2B1.png Control+C had no effect so I restarted in a new shell. http://old.nabble.com/file/p35726265/Picture%2B2.png After a few hours the timer continued to show 0s and again Control+C had no effect (it did not return to my home directory). Both these tries were with options -f -n -v -v, so now I'm trying a third time with options -f -r3 -v -v. It's been running for 3 hours and here's the result so far. http://old.nabble.com/file/p35726265/Picture%2B3.png The destination disk is OK although maybe a bit small. I think there should be files still somewhere in the dead drive but how to get at them? Hope someone can help.
