I created an image using ddrescue on linux, and was able to save most of it. How do I mount a HFS+ dd image in OSX? Ask Question Asked 9 years, 4 months ago. Both.DD and.DMG files are RAW image files. You can simply rename the image.dd file to image.dmg. If you have a series of files make sure you name them correctly. Ie image.dmg.
I can't start TestDisk
cygwin1.dll not found
,ccygwin is missing
You need to extract all the files from the archive before running TestDisk or PhotoRec.
How to use TestDisk ?
Read the TestDisk Step By Step guide.
How to use TestDisk in a script ?
TestDisk usage can be automated. The action need to be described with some specific parameters and the resulting command line can be added to a Unix shell script or Windows batch file. Read Scripted run.
Can I use TestDisk with disk image ?
TestDisk can work with disk images including forensics images created by EnCase and FTK imager.
What to do if the hard disk contains bad sectors ?
If your goal is to recover some precious files and you know where they are, in the advanced menu of TestDisk, select your partition, try to list the content of the filesystem and copy your files.If it doesn't work or if the hard disk is seriously damaged, it's usually better to clone the hard disk first.
A wrong capacity for my hard disk is reported
- If your HD is reported as 137GB only, you need to enable LBA-48 access mode.
- If the size is incorrectly reported as 2TB, connect the hard disk directly in SATA or PATA instead of USB. If the problem persists, the PCB may have suffer from an electronic choc.
Where are the files I have undeleted/copied?
By default, TestDisk copies the files in the current folder.By example, look at
testdisk-6.11.3/win/
on a Windows computer or testdisk-6.12-WIP
.If you have run TestDisk from a temporary folder, ie.
c:UsersbobappdatalocaltempRar$EX00.034testdisk
created by WinRar, the archiver may have deleted the folder including the recovered files when you have closed TestDisk. You need to extract all the files from the archive before running TestDisk.I can't move, delete, rename the recovered files !
- You may need to take ownership of the folders: https://support.microsoft.com/kb/308421
- Change the owner of the files, example
sudo chown -R username recup_dir.*
How to open the image.dd file ?
An image is interesting if the original disk has physical problem (ie. bad sectors) or if you really need a copy.
mount -o loop,ro image.dd directory
- rename image.dd to image.img or image.dmg and double-click on the file
- Specify the image pathname in parameter to run TestDisk or PhotoRec on the disk image.
