Yes I see some errors when I look at `dmesg` concerning my hard disk drive.
But it's normal, I know this hard disk drive has problems.
I just want to clean it a last time before forget it... And maybe, if it's
possible, repair it using some tools but I don't think it's possible.
OK, I will follow the instructions given by Pádraig and Bernhard.
There are some interesting utilities that can help me (shred, dd_rescue and GNU
ddrescue).
Thank you.
Regards.
