Hi Chris. Another few comments: I think the name for those tools I mentioned are referred to as 'data carving'/'file carving' tools. Also, re: I/O errors with 'dd' - do a 'man dd' and see what retry/'force'/keep-going-on-errors-encountered options it has - I'm sure there is one there to tell it to retry xxx times, if no luck, move on to the next block, etc. HTH.
