I've been using spinrite for more than a decade, and have lost count of the times it has saved data for me (or rather: For people dumping their crashed pc in my lap, since _I_ have _BACKUPS_). When you're done recovering data, you might want to take a look at your backup strategy. Select a new one that doesn't depend on spinning metal just as fragile as the one you're backing up from. //Svein --=20 --------+-------------------+------------------------------- /"\ |Svein Skogen | svein@d80.iso100.no \ / |Solberg =C3=98stli 9 | PGP Key: 0xE5E76831 X |2020 Skedsmokorset | svein@jernhuset.no / \ |Norway | PGP Key: 0xCE96CE13 | | svein@stillbilde.net ascii | | PGP Key: 0x58CD33B6 ribbon |System Admin | svein-listmail@stillbilde.net Campaign|stillbilde.net | PGP Key: 0x22D494A4 +-------------------+------------------------------- |msn messenger: | Mobile Phone: +47 907 03 575 |svein@jernhuset.no | RIPE handle: SS16503-RIPE --------+-------------------+------------------------------- If you really are in a hurry, mail me at svein-mobile@stillbilde.net This mailbox goes directly to my cellphone and is checked even when I'm not in front of my computer. ------------------------------------------------------------ Picture Gallery: https://gallery.stillbilde.net/v/svein/ ------------------------------------------------------------ --------------enigE9FACE2BB4ADB6ABD1C46AE7 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: OpenPGP digital signature Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.14 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAkynhKYACgkQODUnwSLUlKRBVwCgn1FwzlnH5FEwYhmmZnB2d0H1 pG8AnRvER0WOk+8mxjOpE8sEAfBb4YOF =6yDw -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------enigE9FACE2BB4ADB6ABD1C46AE7--
