based on what I did last time. try dd out a copy into
another harddisk. then work on your data recovery on the file and put
ur harddisk to rest. The more you run it, the worse it will get.
Even better than standard dd is dd_rescue (debian package ddrescue). It
knows how to fill the bad sector holes with zero (or make them sparse)
and will retry many times to get the bad sectors.
I had a drive that windows and the disk array software would report as
faulty, although dd_rescue was able to copy off all of the data (albeit
taking a long time).

Hi
guys,
Just wanna ask if anyone has had any experience with recovering data on
a drive that seems to have a serious case of bad sectors?
Is there any way to pull the data safely back out again?
Format is reiserfs. Checking it gives a list of bad sectors, so I've
saved the list and passed it --rebuild-tree, but new bad sectors keep
popping up each time I try to do that and the rebuild never completes.
Any suggestions?
