What linux tools exist for recovery of data from a defective hard drive?
The drive spins, bios detects it correctly, etc, but under Windows gives
"unable to read drive" or similar error.
Knoppix can see and mount one of the two partitions on the drive, but
complains the other is already in use. So I figure the data is still on the
drive, but I need to extract it from the drive directly somehow.
Any pointers to tools or docs that may be helpful? I've used gpart in the past
to recover a deleted partition table, but this seems a bit different.
cheers
