No. from my experience USB will hang if the drive hit a wrong sector. You should: - attach the disk to an internal IDE (or sata) cable - use dd_rescue to copy the image to a file (can be long) (or gddrescue) - fsck the copied image. Do not run fsck on a failing disk, it will make thing worse. HTH -- Dominique Dumont "Delivering successful solutions requires giving people what they need, not what they want."
