I have had good luck recovering data that can't be accessed from a HD by
removing it from computer and connecting it via an external drive
mounter like below. Well worth it. I do tech for our local library and
have saved numerous people's borked data with this tool.

I have a database where I keep all my games along with annotations and
analysis. This database is particularly important to me as it is the
only
place where I have stored my calculations and notes wrt the ongoing
correspondence games I'm playing.
Last night, due to a power outage, my computer was shut off while I was
using
Scid and working on my games.
Now that the power is restored, I noticed that unfortunately I cannot
open the
database any more. As soon as I try to do so, Scid exits with the
error
message below:
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
Is there any way to repair a "damaged" database or at least recover the
data?
The advice seems to be don't use the disk or you will overwrite stuff.
Make a copy of the disk and use something like PhotoRec.
Can't be much more help as never successfully done it.
