how to restart photorec session
Posted: 12 Mar 2012, 03:32
Hi,
I'm running 6.12 from a PartedMagic rescue disk (Kernel 3.0.4-pmagic). I'm trying to recover photos from an 80GB Seagate IDE drive (/dev/sdc). The program made it part of the way thru and started giving me out of memory messages. I stopped the photorec session, which in turn closed the terminal window that it was running in. I think my problem was that I decided to store the recovered files in the RAM disk instead of an actual hard drive. I was able to copy the 6 recup_dir directories as well as the photrec.ses file that were created on the RAM disk, to a different hdd (/media/sda2/photorec). I'd like to restart the machine, boot into PartedMagic and start the session again. What steps, commands, do I need to use to do this? Thanks in advance for your help!
