Unstoppable Copier
to be able to access all the folders except for one which is I assume where the problem is occuring. Excluding that folder how would you recommend I try and get the data off the rest of the drive? I've tried a simple copy and paste one folder at a time...it made the directory, copied about 5KB then crashed Explorer. I'm ddrescue a bit stuck with this one, it's mainly video files I need to move off it so they are around 1GB each and I'm not having any luck so far, of course I don't want to be using the drive more than I need to in case I make it worse. OS wise I have: W7 64bit Vists 64bit XP 32bit I have researched programs that say about booting from DOS but then read elsewhere that a NTFS formatted drive wouldn't be read in DOS so I'm rather stuck! Any advice would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

If it's a read error caused by one or more bad sectors on the disk, there is a good chance you can recover your data by running SpinRite on it. d1rtyju1c3 7 February 2011 04:04:26 I use RECUVA. http://filehippo.com/download_recu

over time. A bad sector is a sector on the disk which data cannot be written or read (read errors) due to physical damage or inconsistencies of parity checking bits on disk (CRC or Cyclic Redundancy Check error). http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/Damaged_Hard_Disk To recover your data, the best method is to copy/clone the drive's data to another hard disk before attempting to recover it. The new disk must be at least exactly the same size (check the number of https://www.linux.com/learn/weekend-project-rescue-failing-drives-systemrescue LBA sectors) or larger; when larger, it's usually not a problem because the number of heads per cylinder and sectors per head will be the same if both disks use LBA mode. Windows may have some problems hard drive in dealing with bad sectors on a damaged hard disk, so the best solution is to use a Linux OS to copy data to another hard disk. You can also use TestDisk to help analyze the sectors copied from a hard drive with physical problems onto a good drive.

Burn the .iso file to CD Boot from the CD-ROM At the boot prompt, type knoppix lang=us for a US keyboard/language. You are automatically logged in as the user 'knoppix' on a GUI console. Launch a Konsole/terminal(Note: Knoppix has a separate 'Konsole as root' choice, but copy/paste functions are deactivated in it, so we always recommend using the method described below for gaining root privileges from the normal user Konsole.) Knoppix comes with TestDisk, PhotoRec, dd and dd_rescue. To access hard disks, you need to run these utilities with root (Administrator) privileges. To become root from the Knoppix user account, select the Konsole and type sudo -s, then press the Enter key. Now you can use all of the powerful root commands you need for full disk access from this console. Note for users of Knoppix version 4.0.2 CD: To use TestDisk under Knoppix 4.0.2, you need to resolve a library problem by first executing: ln -s /usr/l

It can rescue Linux, Unix, Mac, and Windows systems, and recover data from almost any media. Today we will learn how to create a SystemRescue live USB stick, and recover data from failing drives. Creating a SystemRescue USB Stick Live Linux CD/DVDs are easy and good, but they have two drawbacks: they are slow, and they are not writable. (Unless you use a CD/DVD-RW, but these are not always reliable.) A bootable SystemRescue USB stick is fast, and you can copy files to it. The one roadblock with live USBs is your system BIOS must support booting from USB devices. Any PC built after 2001 should have this capability, though the older ones don't always work. Some BIOS have a really nice feature: a boot device picker. Just plug in your boot media, power up your machine, and then press the appropriate hotkey, which is usually an F key. Then you get a menu for picking your boot device without having to enter the BIOS configuration. For example, on my Thinkpad it's F12. This varies on different machines as motherboard manufacturers love to monkey with this stuff, so I'm afraid you're on your own for finding out what your systems support. The fine SystemRescue folks have made it easy to create a bootable SystemRescue USB stick by adding a script to the CD image that does all the work for you. All you need are a USB drive that holds at least 512 MB, and the latest SystemRescue CD image. After downloading the CD image, create a temporary directory and mount the image with the loopback device: mkdir temp/ sudo mount -o loop,exec systemrescuecd-x86-2.3.1.iso temp/ You need the exec option so you can run the USB creator script. Plug in your USB stick, and if your system auto-mounts it then you need to unmount it. Then run the usb_inst.sh script: sudo bash ./usb_inst.sh You can run this either in an X terminal or from the console. Just follow the prompts, and presto! Instant live SystemRescue USB. SystemRescue boots to a console by default. You can also have a nice XFCE desktop by typing wizard at the prompt. You get root privileges by default, so this is a mighty power tool all ready to do real work. Adding a D
