Unless I'm completely missing something, you will never be able to fully get back your data on /dev/sdb1, since you over wrote it with the contents of /dev/sdc

Unfortunately, i didn't read the instructions carefully enough. The failing HD is 40 GB (/dev/sdc) I decided to put the rescued data on 500 GB misc. drive (/dev/sdb) stupidly, i typed: ddrescue -n /dev/sdc1 /dev/sdb1 Instead of creating an image, like i intended, I just overwrote the entire partition on sdb1! I got the rescued data off that i needed, now i need to get /dev/sdb1 back because now all the system sees is a 40GB partition. Any ideas? thanks _______________________________________________ Bug-ddrescue mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-ddrescue _______________________________________________ Bug-ddrescue mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-ddrescue
