Useful information (Appendix)

This is part of the hard disk recovery documentation.

Appendix.

Here are all the tools that made an arguably irreplaceable contribution in the recovery:


Here are some additional links that I looked at, with more information:

For the record, here are the two external disks I have with their ext2 partitions’ Superblocks shown:

100GB disk, just one ext2 partition, starts at sector 63.

160GB disk, there is a 20GB FAT32 partition, and the second ext2 partition starts at sector 41945715. This is the partition whose backup superblocks are all off by +1KB (but are otherwise correct), and hence has an illegal formatting.

And here are the ddrescue log files, from the first run and the second run.

Back to the beginning.

    Linux file systems are complicated in nature. Software will not allow you to recover data in many cases where some internal file system data structures are damaged. In that case you can contact us for data recovery services.
