Re: [Bug-ddrescue] ddrescue overwrote partition

[venkateswara reddy]

Hello

In this case sector by sector copy taken place from the beginning of
the hdd.  Still recovery possibilities are there , if your sd card
size is small.  In this case to recover the rest of the portion of HDD
( NOT OVERWRITTEN AREA ) YOU CAN USE "TESTDISK" or "PHOTOREC"
utilities. Thease are good and free.

Thanks & Regards
