All,
I am using the Knoppix Hacks (O'Reilly) and need some clarity with one of the steps to rescue files from damaged hard drive. Under the following link:
http://codeidol.com/unix/knoppix/Repair-Linux/59-Rescue-Files-from-Damaged-Hard-Drives/
There is a step that states:
Replace /dev/hda1 with the partition that you are recovering, and /mnt/hdb1 with the mount point where you are saving the image. As dd_rhelp scans the drive, it prints out all of its progress, including any errors it finds. When it finishes, you should have two files in your recovery drive: the image and a log from dd_rescue, in case you want to audit its progress.
The above does not make sense to me. After dd_rhelp is run, the image file and audit file are already created.
"Replace /dev/hda1 with the partition that you are recovering....."
Am I running dd_rhelp twice? Please advice. Thanks in advance.
