The DVDR froze trying to play a recording, so I shut it down, pulled the HD out, and made an image of it thus:

If you try "dd_rhelp" instead you will see that it takes about the same time to copy, then (usually) try the bad areas for more time, perhaps hours, till you abort it. Just in the hope that it may work once. Probably a waste of time, just accept that you lost data and move on.

Well, that's the big issue. You have at least 131 bad sectors, known to the disk firmware. If you find out their LBA you can zero them, which causes remapping with good spare records, and the disk would work again for some time. You could try "badblocks" on it (a very slow operation) to find out the LBA. It may trigger the remapping on its own. Then you could copy that disk to a new disk of same size and insert the new one on the machine... I would also google to see if someone has found a method to extract the recordings out of the machine. Mine uses Linux, and people made alternative firmware that adds a web page that allows downloading of recordings to a computer. In any case, my disk is formatted ext2 and is external (typically FAT). - -- Cheers, Carlos E. R.
