Friends.
I have a hard disk almost dead.
It is recognized in bios some times.
When booted with that harddisk with a ubuntu live cd,
sudo fdisk -l
is showing nothing.
The disk is not recognized by ubuntu.
It is not showing any disk or partitions.
But still, can hear the sound "tak tak tak" sound from the hard disk.
Is it any possibilities to get data from that hard disk?
Few folks came to us with a very similar case.
But we are OpenBSD guys. ;)
And our filesystem is so superior. And we don't have crap like GRUB. Still...
Anyway finally we heard that the data was recovered using a cracked
Chinese Windows GUI Tool.
We would like to specialize in this data recovery business but we are
lost how to begin.
