- Thank you for the insight, I did not have my computer with me as I had to type it from memory. I can explore the hdd on Linux as the original was Windows. But any major operations does kill the device, even tried a live clonezilla with a rescue flag didn't help, it actually broke clonezilla.DIGI Byte– DIGI Byte2022-06-07 08:06:05 +00:00Commented Jun 7, 2022 at 8:06
- That being said, I am not a python coder and do not know where to get started on this type of operation. I have bought a backup ssd to copy the files onto but for coding, I'm more of a Windows/c#/js programmer so this level of operation and technical side I only know in theoryDIGI Byte– DIGI Byte2022-06-07 08:09:11 +00:00Commented Jun 7, 2022 at 8:09
- I can't accept this answer as it doesn't resolve my issue for data recovery, only offering insight as to the cause of the hardware fault.DIGI Byte– DIGI Byte2022-06-11 03:40:17 +00:00Commented Jun 11, 2022 at 3:40
- hey, I kind of tried to address that in the last three paragraphs of my answer.Marcus Müller– Marcus Müller2022-06-11 10:39:00 +00:00Commented Jun 11, 2022 at 10:39
- I understand what the concept is, I know what python is but not every linux users knows how to program in Python or knows how to do this kind of thing. A solution is needed, not simply just re-iterating my initial assumption of staggered copying. as mentioned, I did attempt with clonezilla for a block copy with rescue as an indication of what solutions I am able to do.DIGI Byte– DIGI Byte2022-06-12 02:28:40 +00:00Commented Jun 12, 2022 at 2:28

How to Tag
A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Choose one or more (up to 5) tags that will help answerers to find and interpret your question.
- complete the sentence: my question is about...
- use tags that describe things or concepts that are essential, not incidental to your question
- favor using existing popular tags
- read the descriptions that appear below the tag
If your question is primarily about a topic for which you can't find a tag:
- combine multiple words into single-words with hyphens (e.g. shell-script), up to a maximum of 35 characters
- creating new tags is a privilege; if you can't yet create a tag you need, then post this question without it, then ask the community to create it for you
