Once you do that you have what can be used like a normal drive, mounted, fsck'd, grepped, etc. Basically, I would try to get a successful fsck run. The encryption aspect of it should only come into play when you want to access the actual files. Either way, making an image means you have the best chance of recovering anything, since your drive could completely die at any time. > > This distro has ddrescue (but you can install it on an ubuntu livecd etc) http://www.tux.org/pub/people/kent-robotti/looplinux/rip/ > > mounting the disk image http://askubuntu.com/questions/176369/how-do-you-mount-an-hd-image-made-from-ddrescue > > So, image, then fsck, then mount, then decrypt. Hi Jeremy, Thanks for the links and the hand holding. I'm leaving this until tomorrow (I need to get a HDD to hold the images), bit I feel better for having a plan of attack. Best, Brian vdB
