I suspect the problem is that you need to change the file type selector to "All Files/Disks (*)" (probably in the lower right hand dropdown when the file dialog is open, but can depend on your platform).

Are you still running on Ubuntu?

Perhaps you could take and upload a screenshot of the "Select Device/File" dialog for me so I can see more clearly what's going on? I suspect you're looking in your home folder /home/black instead of /media/black, and that might be why you aren't finding it.

Hello.

When you clicked "Open File Viewer" you should at that point be seeing the recovered files.

I'm not sure what you mean when you say you can't see the "drive.img" file - it's there in the terminal output you sent.

Hope this helps,
Hamish

Hello, Good to see the recovery is making headway. Yeah, a full install is generally the best option, and I'm glad to hear about the fan - they always help. As for when you can see the recovered files, it kind of depends on what data it has managed to read. The start of the drive is the most importa...

Glad to hear

Thanks. The output suggests that you've got my PPA added, but for the wrong version of Ubuntu - you might need to use software sources to verify this. Also, you should be using the DDRescue-GUI v2.1.0 package for Ubuntu 16.04 or newer at https://www.hamishmb.com/html/downloads.php?program_name=ddres...

I regret to inform you that this forum is no longer available on Tapatalk due to the lack of updates for the phpBB plugin and the poor security track record. If there is demand for this feature and things change at Tapatalk's end I may reinstate it.

Okay. Could you open a Terminal (Konsole), change directory to the folder you saved DDRescue-GUI in and run:

sudo apt install ./<package-name>

ANd paste the output here please?

Okay. What distribution and version are you using? I can give you a command to run which will give me more information as to what the problem is, but I'll need to know what distribution you're using first.

Okay, can you give me the full error message then please?

Note that You'll need the Python 3 version of GetDevInfo
