Re: icat and ifind -- Help with -- Please DO NOT hijack threads

Thanks Theodore,

I had a quick crack at following your instructions and got this:

al@al-ubuntu:~$ sudo mmls -i raw /home/al/test_bad_disk.bin
[sudo] password for al:

Now lets say I am interested in whats on badblock 22817441. This falls on one of the NTFS partitions (slot 05).
relative bad sectors is now 22817441 - 21100544 = 1716879. Thus:

al@al-ubuntu:~$ sudo ifind -i raw -o 21100544 -d 1716879 /dev/sdb
9845-128-4

Then:

al@al-ubuntu:~$ sudo istat -i raw -o 21100544 /dev/sdb 9845-128-4

And ffind:

al@al-ubuntu:~$ sudo ffind -i raw -o 21100544 /dev/sdb 9845-128-4
/Windows/winsxs/Backup/x86_microsoft-windows-font-truetype-mingliub_31bf3856ad364e35_6.0.6000.16386_none_c6eae5a23b4a0d1e_mingliub.ttc_b8743970
al@al-ubuntu:~$

A little bit of trouble interpreting this result as its not a file name and path that I am used to seeing. Is it something in C:\Windows\winsxs\Backup\????

Cheers
