Mike Simons posted some information on this list a few months ago about modifying the hard disk drivers so that he could read past i/o errors on a hard disk. --- Jeff NewmillerThe . . Go Live...

[vox-tech] Fried hard drive recovery
I have a hard drive that seems to be completely hosed. It has some important data I'd like to retrieve from it, but I can't even run "fdisk -l /dev/hda" without receiving a plain I/O error. The bios, however, sees the drive and recognizes it. A search through "dmesg" output shows that it's being recognized as well. I tried using "testdisk", and again, when the disk is accessed, I just get I/O errors. Is this disk totally a lost cause, or is there another tool I can try? -- R.
