Well, they knew less than I. They were incompentent.
Well this is different. This is my data. I don't care if the client losses data, after all they should've had backups! Most of the data the client can recreate. I had things like pics of my vacations, etc. Things that cannot be replaced.
As for dd, I've never had a bad drive in my life before. I had no need to learn something like dd. After all, I've only been a Unix consultant for 6 months. Before that I was an MCSE, but I've found specializing in Unix-Solars-Linux makes me more money.
alt bloody hell - you could do this in Windows... it's called Parbreastion Magic. You could even use DiscWizard, which runs...
Let me give you a little consulting tip. The trick to being a rich successful consultant is to always *seem* smarter than the client's employees. It is necessary to label them incompetent! That way I get full authority to work my magic on their systems. For example, of course I knew the Hyperthreading flaw wasn't an issue on x86-64 opteron. But I wanted Solaris on the system so I fudged it a bit. The less of linux then there is more space for MS. Divide and conquor.
On a side note, when I need help, look how much brown nosing of linux advocates I have done. You guys are smart. I'll give you that. If I get my data back following your advice, I'll call you guys Smarter then Bill G. I'll call you better than Turing. You are gods and geniuses if I get my drive to work again. LINUX RULES if it brings back my dead NTFS data.
