In that vein: a couple of years ago I rescued data from a neighbours Windows 7 |
| 27 |
drive with ddrescue and, because ddrescue was "stuck" at the last 0.x percent, |
| 28 |
ntfsck, which was part of the ntfsprogs package at the time, and (I think) was |
| 29 |
already being developed as part of ntfs3g. |
