| Jul 7, 2012 at 20:07 | comment | added | darron | @Gilles I did mention I used ddrescue. There are apparently errors in just the wrong places for a copy to mount. It's not clear what offsets I need to focus on with ddrescue to fix that problem... thus the question on something like debugfs (or a ntfsinfo that can work with a partition at least as well as the regular 'mount' can). My best bet at this point is to watch /var/log/messages for sector errors as I access the bad drive in a read-only mount and try to ddrescue those to the copy until it works. | |

The first thing to do is to make a copy of the disk, using ddrescue or other similar tool to copy as many sectors as possible. Don't do any filesystem-level recovery from the damaged disk, do it from the copy.
