Recover a dead hard drive using dd
I must say that this hint is pretty cool. I have a RAID box "eRaid" to be exact that contains a few Gigs of data. For some reason the drive refuses to mount, i've tried using disk utility to repair it, tried data rescue x, and disk warrior, none of these work so i used the dd command. It creates the disk image but whenever i try mounting it, it gives me an error "no mountable file systems". I was wondering if there was any way that the data from the disk image could be extracted and placed in a working image. Can anyone help, any suggestions would be great.

Hey Guys,
use the device file, not the mount point
You are using /Volumes/jeff for your in file. This is the mount point of your volume (where its files can be accessed), but is not the device file. Use the command 'df' to see where Jeff is mounted. It should be something like disk1s3 or something. Use the command
(assuming disk1s3 is the device file for jeff. It will most likely be something different).
