Are there any Puppy Linux friendly softwware tools for extracting data from a bad drive? The files are not located in my .sfs file, but on a fat 32 partition.
Thought I backed up everything, but discovered that I did not.
Data recovery on Bad drive
i have a Fatback package and a Foremost package on my dotpups page:

but i did not find either one to be very useful
pcinspector (a Windows program) seemed to be as useful as any program i tried:

Depends on what is wrong with the drive.
Does it spin up ok?
Does it have bad sectors?
Does it have corrupt files?
Is the controller card ok?
There are a lot of little tricks for recovering data from bad drives.
Give us an idea, and i'll see what direction to go.
I hope this helps.

If at first you don't succeed try try again!
