recoverdm - recover files on disks with damaged sectors
recoverdm -t <type> -i <file/device-in> -o <output_file> [-l <sectors_file>] [-n retries]
[-s rotation_speed] [-r retries] [-b start_offset] [-p skip_blocks_count]
recoverdm recover disks with bad sectors. You can recover
files as well complete devices. In case it finds sectors which simply cannot
be recovered, it writes an empty sector to the output file and continues.
When recovering a CD or a DVD and the program cannot read the sector in "normal mode", then the program will try to read the sector in "RAW mode" (without error checking etc.). This toolkit also has a utility called mergebad which merges multiple images into one.
These are the values can be used with -t option:
FILE 1
FLOPPY 10
FLOPPY_IDE 11
FLOPPY_SCSI 12
CDROM_IDE 20
CDROM_SCSI 21
DVD_IDE 30
DVD_SCSI 31
DISK_IDE 40
DISK_SCSI 41
