Sorry to contact you this way. But I have racked my brain trying desperately to imitate that I am as intelligent as you guys and I am totally out of energy.
I used ddrescue 1.19 to rescue a badly scratched CD containing photos of a soldier who died recently. The family asked if I could retrieve images from a damaged CD. I would be really excited to tell them I recovered the photos using ddrescue on Linux Mint 18. The command was (as per your manual's example): -------------------------------------------------- ddrescue -n -b2048 /dev/cdrom cdimage mapfile -------------------------------------------------- Now, I am totally blown away as to the next step. First, I don't know if I have anything to offer them. Here are the results: -------------------------------------------------- rescued: 320307 kB, errsize: 18354 kB, errors: 279 Current status rescued: 322701 kB, errsize: 15960 kB, current rate: 0 B/s ipos: 338659 kB, errors: 273, average rate: 1251 B/s opos: 338659 kB, run time: 31.88 m, successful read: 13 s ago Finished --------------------------------------------------- Second, I have searched for hours to figure out what to do with "cdimage". I have the file on my hard drive. But nobody seems to be able to tell me in stupid language how to turn "cdimage" into a photo CD. Please help. I am at the end of my rope. Thanks in advance, Ron Asselstine D 'n R Computer Services P.S. I am not charging these people anything to do this. They have already paid a tremendous personal amount. _______________________________________________ Bug-ddrescue mailing list Bug-ddrescue@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-ddrescue
