Dear all,

I have used testdisk on my Linux Mint Machine, to create image of my gone bad, very very old, external, 40 GB USB HDD.
Later I used photorec tool to recover data from that image.
I was successful in recovering 3.2 GB out of nearly 35 GB of data that was there on my HDD.
Can you please suggest me a better way/tool which can recover complete 35 GB disk image?

Thanks in advance!

regards,
Baljeet.

Obviously your recovery chances depend on the quality of the image you made. Testdisk may not be the best choice to image "gone bad" drives. Take a look at Linux ddrescue. It is designed to image failing drives.
