Well, I'm certainly not... I've got some UNIX experience from MacOS X, but little to no Linux. More after doing all this mess...

ddr_help was unable to rescue the data from my crashed drive a few months ago. It did give me a large disk image, but I couldn't mount it.

Bummer. I copied straight to another drive instead of trying to image. I don't know if that helped or hurt. Also, I'm sure bugs could crop up in the programs (I've already seen a little stuttering). We'll see.

Wait. My memory has come back to me. It was Adam's dead drive that we were able to make an image of (but not mount). Mine wouldn't stop chugging and clicking long enough for the OS to recognize it.
Perhaps we would have had luck with his drive if we'd imaged it directly to another one.

You were doing dd_rhelp on the Mac, then, right? I think with Knoppix it doesn't try to mount the drive (at least in text mode) unless you specifically order it to (which I didn't do at any point).

dd_rhelp doesn't mount the drive either, Ken. It just creates the disk image, which I then (unsuccessfully) tried to mount.

Oh, I know, but if you're doing it in OS X, OS X automatically tries to mount the drive. Just trying to define the variables for myself, really.
