I've recovered four hard drives this way, never losing more than a few MB of data. Here's an example how this might work: cd ~ mkdir recover cd recover dd_rescue /dev/hdb ./bad_disk.img ... up to several hours later ... dosfsck -a -V ./bad_disk.img mount ./bad_disk.img /mnt/tmp ls /mnt/tmp -- Ben Maas - Technology Architect Open Technology Systems, LLC ----------------------------------------------------------- eMail: bmaas at open-techsys.com Web: http://www.open-techsys.com Phone: 952.448.3121 Fax: 952.448.4944 Cell: 612.743.3674 _______________________________________________ TCLUG Mailing List - Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota http://www.mn-linux.org tclug-list at mn-linux.org https://mailman.real-time.com/mailman/listinfo/tclug-list
