Ddrescue gui linux8/10/2023 I don't know but I suspect any desirable data is going to be in the first quarter of the drive. Parted Magic looks like a nice little download so if I need to I guess I'll try that next.Your first link has an informative summary of the three but now I'm disappointed with ddrescue.quote: When it gets an error, it writes out any partial data that it received during that read, and KEEPS GOING to the next big block. But then I ended up with a sourceforge server that didn't allow resume. Since that wasn't working, I decided to try it witth SystemRescueCd. That's why I wanted to get it running with Knoppix. I don't know exactly how ddrescue compares but since Kalysto endorsed it, I figured to try that.Edit: I could also do a Knoppix HD install since I already have that and it's a pain for me to get other distros. ![]() I'd use Paul's utility but dd_rhelp sounded like it'd do a better job. So apparently contrary to packages.txt, the Knoppix CD has dd_rescue rather than ddrescue.No dd_rhelp or ddrescue, so what now? I would have posted this to the Linux forum but people looking for data recovery come here.I have an old SUSE install that I rarely use and barely know anything about if that helps. However, the dd_rescue site does list that version. The Knoppix packages.txt has ddrescue 1.13-3 listed. The dd_rhelp author suggests using ddrescue instead. Besides, the Knoppix CD doesn't seem to include dd_rhelp. ![]() ![]() That sounded simple enough: download Knoppix, burn to CD, run dd_rhelp, done! Not so at all. For data recovery, people here have mentioned Knoppix and dd_rhelp.
