Recover a dead hard drive using dd
Authored by: rSm00th on Oct 22, '06 01:41:50PM

I had two 20gb Maxtor drives in a RAID 1 setup both crap out on me at the same time. I tried replacing the logic board on one of the drives with a matching one but they both give the "click-o-death" at bootup.

Mac OS sees the drive and it shows up as /dev/rdisk1, and I'm trying the DD method about to copy a disk image. DD is showing a "device not confiugred" error as it's working, so we'll see how it works when it finishes up.
