1) Start with ddrescue http://www.gnu.org/software/ddrescue/ to image the drive as best as possible. Afterwards you can run multiple tools if you want against the image without provoking the I/O error monster. 2) If the image can't be mounted then use testdisk as suggested. Testdisk has saved me more times than I'd like to admin (mostly corrupt SD cards). The downside is that files lose their original names. That's not so bad if you've got a directory of photos, but if you're trying to associate financial files or other private data, you're in for a tedious slog. -- Michael Moore On Wed, Nov 6, 2013 at 11:39 AM, <tclug at freakzilla.com> wrote: > You can try testdisk (http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/TestDisk). > > > > On Wed, 6 Nov 2013, Raymond Norton wrote: > > I am helping a school attempt to recover data from a failed raid on a Win >> 2003 server.
