I discovered ddrescue and have been trying to use it for a couple days now but have found instructions that have worked properly.  Is there anyway you could tell me step by step how to use your program.

Gnu ddrescue will image a device, which is the first step in recovering lost files from a failed device.

If you have deleted your files or otherwise lost them without the

What happened to your files?
