Re: [opensuse] Is there a way to read data from a hdd, with a worm eaten bootsector?

The problem with Spinrite is that it attempts to repair the drive, rather than copy the data to another drive. This means if it messes up, you've lost everything. It's far safer to copy the drive contents to another drive and work on recovery there.


That would mean that i could access the drive, to copy the data....
