## testdisk, broken mp3-player

Tue May 14, 2013 8:45 pm

A friend asked me to copy his music from a broken mp3-player to a new one
(now i come to think: What on earth does he think to ask such strange stuff? broken is broken, no?)
Anyway:
I plug the mp3-player
i do "fdisk -l"
It shows me four partitions, as /dev/sdb{1..4},
three of them being Unknown, one being Novell Netware 386
If i try to mount them, it gives me an error:
special device /dev/sdb{1..4} does not exist
If i start gparted it shows me one partition: /dev/sdb1
Ok, not being experienced in such, i started testdisk, but am not sure what to do with it.
I did as i always do: hit the enter-key a couple of times, and it now seems to "analyse cylinders"
Any ideas?
("give up" would be a good idea, as it sucks already).

clicking around i found a way to create an image, called image.dd
searching the web it told me to:
mount -o loop,ro image.dd /media/disk/
http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/TestDisk_FAQ
and i find all files at /media/disk/Mp\ 3
good.
Ah:
Advanced and at the bottom switch to "Image creation"
