1/7/2024 0 Comments Use ddrescue guiMy goal is to rebuild my user files, so RAW files are fine if I can find them. The rescue software got me my file directories and files with the right size, but a portion were corrupted, so I was trying to do a better attempt at cloning to work off and this time copy the whole disk. Fix unmounting output files on certain versions of macOS. Make developer docs more mobile friendly. Various fixes for Cygwin, including fixing a potential memory leak. Make DDRescue-GUI compatible with wxPython 4.1.0. DMG file of the problematic partition using the built in Disk Utility. Using ddrescue from the command line isn’t mind-melting difficult, but I find it a lot easier with a graphic front-end. DDRescue-GUI (2.1.1): Changes since v2.1.0: Drop support and workarounds for Python 2. dd is very similar to ddrescue, Here is the command: dd iftest. Now, we have a few options on how to image the new drive. The disk has 2 partitions, 1 is intact and accessible still (but DDRescue failed with that one too). Browse to the image file on your USB drive and open a terminal (File->Terminal). It's a USB drive, and one of the partitions wasn't showing in the finder, and now I don't have access to it at all. The app is supposed to re-scan bad sectors, but it didn't spot any, despite there obviously being problems. The drive I captured to is also now greyed out. So, IOW with some file systems or with certain type of damage RAW recovery is expected, in others it's not.ĭDRescue is supposed to create a mountable file from the data it clones, drive to drive. or file system is quite severely damaged. While most Linux command line tools are very hard to use, 'DDRescue' is comparatively simple to use. There is also a 'DDrescue GUI' in 'Parted Magic'. It is the tool i used to copy data from failing drives when Windows and live discs like Hirens refuses to boot. What's the file system of the partition that refused to mount? And what happened to it? If all these quite good tools are unable to reconstruct a file system then either the file system wipes meta data upon deletion, formatting etc. On the other hand 'Parted Magic' will boot most times. Is the DMDE sector by sector function worth trying?Īrch Stanton wrote:Sure you imaged to file then? I never use ddrescue but if destination was drive rather than image file then story makes sense. Is there a way to remedy this situation with the DDRescue_GUI scan? But the DDRescue scan only did 1 pass and didn't show any issues. The newly scanned info is in worse shape because that at least still has file structures on one partition appearing in the finder, and doesn't show the same errors in the recovery apps that recognize the drive and partition name. I tried to rescue the contents of the DDRescue_GUI clone using DMDE and (demos of) R-Tool, and UFS, but it's showing errors, no file structure, and doesn't appear to have preserved the current state of the troubled drive.and now I have a new troubled drive showing new errors in those recovery programs. I must have done something wrong, since it wouldn't mount. I tried to clone a drive (it has a partition which doesn't mount) using DDRescue_GUI and after the scan completed (no bad sectors, didn't need to make a second pass, no indication of problems) it wouldn't create the image file, and now the destination drive no longer mounts at all.
