This is my first podcast ever and I show you how easy it is to recover pictures from a dying disk. It's not high-tech as I found out (using the commands anyway). Links to the used tools and PartedMagic:

Photorec (recover pictures and other files on havily dammaged filesystem)

http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/PhotoRec

Ddrescue {fancy imaging-tool to get data from dammaged media}

http://www.gnu.org/software/ddrescue/ddrescue.html

PartedMagic

The switches I used in ddrescue as given in their documentation:

ddrescue -f -n /dev/hdb1 /dev/hdc1 logfile
ddrescue -d -f -r3 /dev/hdb1 /dev/hdc1 logfile
Please send feedback, advise, whatever to: sven@@noblanks.org

Great Show!

Great show, thank you. The sound quality was very good, and content was top shelf also. I hope I never need to know all this, but I'm glad I can if I have to. Thanks for joining "the club."

I think we spoke in irc before. I'm glad you joined in, and I hope it was fun enough to do another.
