Hi, I have a friend's G4(PPC) which seems to have a dying disk. He had run the Apple disk utility and it reported and error with the IDE disk. The machine just halts sometimes, with the disk trying to read something and the only way to shut down the machine was the power button.
I tried doing an rsync to a remote directory and it made the hard disk busy after sending about 350MB (total home data is around 6GB). I have shut down the machine and trying to list various options of salvaging the data from the HDD. I was reading up on dd_rescue (had tried it on a couple of CDs earlier), foremost, and Sleuthkit. Does anyone have any recommendations on how to proceed in this case? Any live CD(PPC) which will be more helpful than the systemrescueCD (0.2.0 PPC)?
