Hello! My first post
- Failed crucial ssd for macbook pro
- Ssd had encryption (I have the passwords)
- I manage to do a raw recovery wich is a dmg file of the intire ssd
- I no longer have this ssd
- I am not 100% sure if the file extention was dmg when I recovered it with stellar recovery ( I might have changed to try to mount it, but I can't remember)
This is a long time ago, but due to someone proffesional was able to recover another failed ssd with same system by clone it to a new hard drive, that was accessable from my macbook. This makes me believe I can recover this if I can clone it over to a new hard drive.
- Tried restoring the dmg file to a new hard drive from disk utility: "Could not validate source - Invalid argument"
So my questions is:
1. How do I clone it over the new hard drive?
2. There probably was bad blocks on the ssd. Is this something that is relevant with the dmg file?
I appologize if my questions are kinda dumb. I'm kinda new with this stuff.
However if anyone can help me I would really apriciate it!
