ddrescue
Read disk.
sudo ddrescue /dev/sdb1 /temp/sdb1
Information from http://www.forensicswiki.org/wiki/Ddrescue 'ddrescue --direct' will open the input with the O_DIRECT option for uncached reads. 'raw devices' are not needed on newer kernels. For older kernels see below. First you copy as much data as possible, without retrying or splitting sectors: # ddrescue --no-split /dev/hda1 imagefile logfile Now let it retry previous errors 3 times, using uncached reads: # ddrescue --direct --max-retries=3 /dev/hda1 imagefile logfile If that fails you can try again but retrimmed, so it tries to reread full sectors: # ddrescue --direct --retrim --max-retries=3 /dev/hda1 imagefile logfile You can now use ddrescue (or normal dd) to copy the imagefile to a new partition on a new disk. Use the appropriate filesystem checkers (fsck, CHKDSK) to try to fix errors caused by the bad blocks. Be sure to keep the imagefile around. Just in case the filesystem is severely broken, and datacarving tools like testdisk need to to be used on the original image.
