Hi, I found your program ddrescue and am hoping to use it to restore files from my crashed hard drive, but I had a few questions begin I begin, just so I avoid further damaging my drive.
Right now, my computer hangs when it attempts to mount the crashed drive and I am unable to access the drive or any subfolders. The drive still spins and does not make any abnormal noises. Am I correct in thinking this is the appropriate time to use ddrescue or do I need to already be able to mount the device? Second, in using dd_rescue would I simply select the entire drive (so D:\ ) to a new location (e.g. C:\Users\me\Documents\ ) and then let it run or would I have to specify sub-directories of my external drive? Thank you for your help and any other advice you can offer! It seems like a wonderful tool that may save a ton of my data and time. -Tauras Vilgalys _______________________________________________ Bug-ddrescue mailing list [email protected] https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-ddrescue
