I have a laptop with HDD which had issues with booting (windows10). I assumed that Windows just failed some way.
I've booted from LinuxLiveUSB and tried to dump the disk using
dd
. DD failed on 85GB because of I/O error. I've read that it is sign of bad block, so I've used NOERROR
flag next time.
During that process dd
now throws only I/O errors. I've checked disk in fdisk -l
, but see only one partition (was 4 before the whole operation) with message that there was no other partition or something (sorry I can't remember correctly).
For the next reboot to LiveUSB, fdisk
detect no sda
whatsoever. So I think, disk is dead.
I still have 270GB image (closed DD because of never-ending I/O errors) of 1TB disk. I want to recover data from this image, but neither OSFMount
on Windows nor losetup
/kpartx
can mount Windows partition from this image (OSFmount
just hangs and linux tools do nothing).
Is there any process to prepare the image in a way to read the data from it? Thanks.
