Recover a dead hard drive using dd
In OS X you can use the "disktool" command to find out what disks you have connected. Try
disktool -lto get started. I don't know how you would do this on other Unixes - it varies by system, as does the disk naming convention.

It depends on what OS you're trying to read the disk in, really. (See your sig for details. :))
On OS X, you use what disktool reports, but put a "/dev/" in front of it. FWIW, I found that I had to read the whole disk to get it to work, not just a single partition. YMMV. The full disk is the "diskX" name, and the individual partitions on it are the "diskXsY" names. All together, this means on OS X you're going to get a device path like: /dev/diskXThe "rXX" device name is for the author's BSD system. On a Linux system, you'll get names like "hdaX". (And Sun and HP and every other system have yet other naming conventions.) |
