Recovering data from a corrupt HD

Hi all,

I hava w WD HD which woke up ill.

I did:

[Stop]+[A]

boot -s

fsck -y /dev/rdsk/c0t0d0s7

...

...

...

WARNING: /pci@1f,0/ide@d/dad@0,0 (dad0):

Uncorrectable data Error: Block ...

...

...

...

Command: 0xc8 Error: 0x40 Status: 0x51

...

...

...

BAD MODE 0170000 I=2263

BAD MODE: MAKE IT A FILE? ...

# fsck is repeating that each few blocks, running forever.

I do not know it will have an end. Is there an alternetive way

to copy data and check it for integrity somewhere else?

(Probably without mounting, since it wont mount the way it is)

I thank in advance for any tip ...

If the hard drive is actually returning data, you could 'dd' the data from the drive to another location. If the hard drive has failed so that block requests are not returning data, then this isn't going to help.-- Darren
