I have been running DataRescue DD for over 3 days now on a 500GB Hitachi Travelstar Z5K500 (HTS545050A7E380).
The progress bar doesn't move and it has been telling me all day today there is 11:49:58 remaining.
The created image file is about 76GB big.
Should I be patient and hope for the best or is it time to give up?
