Clonezilla and g4u are sort of backup programs. That's why I think ddrescue is the right tool - it just keeps trying to read each and every block on the device and skip over blocks which can't be read even after a few retries. > > As for your questions: > What makes you think that if you put another usb hd you will start from 137 > and up? No, I don't think I need another USB hd, I think I need another external IDE->USB enclosure with an IDE/ATA controller which can support 200Gb, to read the last part of my defective disk. > > To recover file names try to look here: > http://forums.getdata.com/computer-data-recovery/90-why-cant-recover-filenames.html > > Maybe their program will help. > > as for identifying the file name in the gz file, might be tricky. Usually > the file name appears in the first line (header). So in general cat of the I see that the gzip format indeed contains the original file name in the header. I don't see a way to view this using the gzip/gunzip tools. Maybe I'll have to resort to Perl script for that, I was hoping I'll be able to avoid that. :( > first line or head should do the trick. I did once such a thing on a movie. gz are binary files. No "first line" here.
