Re: Re: [OT] Disc rescue...

If it were me, I would have just recovered everything
emphasizing that you haven't looked at the files so it
may be possible that some could be corrupted, etc.

It will then become a family matter as to what happens.

I had to recover a disk for the student son of a colleague.
I used Ontrack EasyRecovery which worked quite well. I managed
to recover most of his final years coursework. I just copied the
whole lot to DVDs and purposefully didn't check the content.
I decided I didn't want to know about anything likely to
cause embarrassment, to either party.

data - It recovered everything.  This left me with a difficult dilemma when
I found a bunch of webcam pictures of the 16YO daughter posing in fishnets
and lingerie for her faraway boyfriend - did the parents know they were
there?  Had they been deleted prior to the format? Should they be included
in the restore?  What would you have done.....?
