Hello, I used ddrescue v1.3 to copy a crashed Windows XP NTFS partition. The rescued NTFS image file is stored on a hard drive with a single EXT2 partition. Referencing the tutorial in 'ddrescue.info', I will next copy the image to a different drive for the repair stage.
The tutorial states, "After the copy is repaired, with e2fsck or some other tool appropriate for the type of partition..." I'm confused. Does this mean that the tool for repair needs to match the file system of the rescued image file (NTFS in my case) or the file system of the partition on which the rescued image file resides (EXT2 in my case)? Please advise. If the latter is true, I presume I will be able to run e2fsck against the image for repair. If the former is true, I'm not sure how to repair the image. Would I need to copy the image to an NTFS-formatted hard drive, mount that HD in an XP machine, then run an NTFS partition repair tool? I've looked for such a tool that is Linux-based (e.g. ntfsck), but it does not yet exist. How do I properly repair my rescued NTFS image that is living on an EXT2 partitioned hard drive?
