If you are averse to using those command lines to install testdisk and

fatdog's connectivity tools.Â* An ethernet will likely connect
automatically; a wifi might need some help.

Fortunately fatdog has both a wpa-gui and an alternate text-based tool
for solving wifi connectivity and it has built-in help file to
illustrate how to use the wpa-gui.

It is necessary to be connected to install these packages we've
mentioned.

I think TestDisk might already be on the DVD.

I'm looking at fatdog 721 which doesn't have it installed by default.

But ddrescue likely takes package management.

I made some pictures for ddrescue in a previous post.

Ha. Well if you are going to command glsapt to appear you might as well
command the ddrescue install :-) Yes, the glslapt command is simpler.

My ddrescue command-line example, wasn't set up to do cloning at
the time, and I was using ddrescue to do a bad block scan. Changing
the /dev/null to another storage device name like /dev/sdb would
allow cloning.

It is a lot easier for me to look at your annotated screenshots of the
terminal results than his camera pix. I finally got fatdog's PrtScr key
behaving consistently in a live session. by never invoking xscreenshot
from the command line. Somehow using the command and invoking the
ctrl-shft-prtscr to quit causes prtscr to not work any more.

If he can make screenshots with prtscr or even the mtpaint tool and post
them on postimg with the seamonkey browser, his results will be a lot
easier to read.
