Re: [Bug-ddrescue] image size problem, urgent please

[mambi]

Thank you very much for your help. I followed the instructions and could
create the image of the correct size. Unfortunately it seems the recovery
was not successful and I could not list any directory or files in those 30GB
recovered. I have replaced the MBR with the backup with testdrive and fix
the FAT partition table with that software too but there is nothing inside
the partition. The hard drive from which I picked up the data is now useless
as it is no longer recognized, too many I/O errors. When trying to access
it, it is recognized as a 2.2 TB disk.

Anyway thank you all, I have learned a lot.
