Re: [wlug] recovering data off failing/failed hard drive

Hi Chris. First off, I'm no guru, but here goes: Use 'dd' or similar to create an image of the failed/failing drive. Do a google and install/download/research the following programs: Foremost Scalpel etc. I ended up using Foremost, and recovered a lot of data - not as much as I had hoped, but better than none. For Win32 OS - PC Inspector File Recovery - was free? last time I used it. HTH. Elroy.
