From the pattern of which files were recoverable and which were not. Lenghty process which took me 9 days. If you'd seen it, you would have known what I mean. When which data got to disk and what's on which partition, partition table entirely unreadable, noise when accessing certain areas and so on and so on. But anyway: it took days to revoer the data (hail to Stellar Phoenix) and about 30% was lost, still it passed the SMART tests. -- -----BEGIN GEEK CODE BLOCK----- Version: 3.12 GCS d--(+)@ s-:+ a- C+++(++++) UL+>++++ P+>++ L+++>++++ E-- W++ N o?
