Extract and repair corrupt .jpg files due to bad sectors
Posted: 04 Oct 2019, 18:32
Hi all!
I've managed to clone my failing NTFS hard drive to another hard drive using ddrescue.
Then, I've analysed what files are corrupt due to bad sectors using ddrutility's ddru_ntfsfindbad on the cloned copy.
Next, I need to extract and repair these files from the cloned copy.
Content of ntfsfindbad.log:
Are TestDisk & PhotoRec the right tools for my task?
If yes, how can I extract and repair these exact files?
Also, would it be helpful or damaging to run chkdsk on the cloned copy first / afterwards?
Thank you!
