How can I recover my data from a dead HDD that still spins?
My HDD died the other day, so I bought a new one and a SATA to USB3.0 connector to transfer my files. The dead drive doesn't register when I plug it in via USB with the connector, and plugging it in via SATA to my motherboard takes a while to register, but then lags my system immensely, and then it fails to recognize.
I've been trying to live load Knoppix linux to use ddrescue, but I can't seem to get linux to find either my new or old HDDs. Any and all help would be appreciated.
