I know this is off-topic on linux-kernel, but since this is
the place where the experts hang around I'll ask here.
(Harald and Ingo in particular will have experience with things
like this).

I bought a 4.3gb _CONNER_ drive in febuari (sold to me as
a Seagate drive :( )... Since wednesday 4 of 9 partitions
have gone bad...
the partions are my dos d: drive, a partition I haven't used
in the last few weeks, my source-code drive and my /usr/local.
The bad sectors are in such a place that doing a ls in /usr/local
gives a kernel panic !!!

Now, I'm looking for a program that can copy the partition to
an imagefile so I can recover at least some of the files on it
(/usr/local contains about 80megs of programs I compiled/configured
myself, of which inn is the easiest one...)

sorry for being off-topic,

Rik.
