Re: [Bug-ddrescue] Merging individual partition image in to whole disk image

[Paul Daniels]

Morning all,

   I had a strong feeling that the manual-manipulation system would be 
required,  thank you for the detailing Scott :)

   I'll make a double clone of the data recovered here and try the 
manual merge, but I'll also be quite interested to see Antonio's --shift 
option too.   For now the drive is still reading ( even without the 
partition table being read, thankfully still accessible! ), so I'll let 
it run until I'm ready to migrate data across to the client's new drive.
