I don't know who to blame apple or ddrescue. So Sorry if this is in the wrong place! :)
I have
Macbook pro Intel core I7 running Maverick
Failed 120Gb HDD (really old... more than 8 years I think)
So Natural I run ddrescue. But when the ddrescue gets to "Splitting Failed Blocks" step the disk ejects and recounts to my mac. but ddrescue seem to miss the memo, and keeps doing it's thing, even though the HDD has left the station.
The command had no flags.
Also it doesn't eject when I told ddrescue to skip the split stage "-n"
I am at a point where I need it to start splitting to dig deep for that data.
Has this happened to any one else?
I know that there were people who had problems with long cables but I'm not that case. (all small cables)
I'm going to try raw accessing the HDD to see if I can dig up more data next.
