Hi,
Recently my hard drive goes bad again, which has a lot of bad sectors
for unknown reasons. I am looking for some software that is capable of
doing a sector-to-sector copy of the hard drive.
I have tried dd but with conv=noerror,sync it would just fill 0's for
the whole block size (say, in order to get best speed you will want
bs=128k or even larger, but that means that you will lose data when 1
of these 256 sectors is bad). Is there any program that is smarter
which do a sector-to-sector copy for these failed blocks and use larger
transfer buffer for others?
The src/tools/tools/recoverdisk does exactly that.
