Mount an image created from ddrescue
Solution 1:
To recover data from a carved image of a damaged drive we usually simply load this image to our recovery software.
For Testdisk/Photorec we simply issue the following command
testdisk image.dd # to recover partitions
photorec image.dd # to recover single files
Please consult the very nice tutorials from CG Security on further options and steps to take:
- Testdisk
- Photorec
Note that you will not be able to recover filenames, permissions and directories from running PhotoRec. It will just give you random numbered files, but with an appropriate extension.
