[ubuntu-za] Hey guys

Hi Daniel

I'm not sure what your drive problem was but GNU ddrescue 
(http://www.gnu.org/software/ddrescue/ddrescue.html) will copy almost 
anything. It is a lot better that dd and even ddrescue. The last drive I 
used it on did not mount, read with dd or ddrescue and I still managed 
to get everything of it (I lost only 275KB out of 20GB). Just something 
to keep in mind.
