Hi all,
I'm just wondering, what do you guys use to get data off damaged stiffies? It's one of those cases where I can mount the disc (slow) but nothing is listed on it. Windows reckons the disc isn't formatted.
I don't know if this will help but there is a package called ddrescue on the SuSE distribution. I used it to get some data off a floppy disk which failed in a number of computers because of faulty sectors. Worked like a charm, although it sounded like it was mashing the floppy in the process. -- Regards, Graham Smith ---------------------------------------------------------
