I wasn't sure where to put this thread but since i use ubuntu for data recovery, I figured this is the best place. So, a friend passed me a 250G Western Digital hard disk the other day and said that his client needs to get her pictures off it. the problem: windows says it wants to reformat the system. so i put in my linux disk and had a look.
when i ran dmesg as root shortly after connecting the drive it gave the output in dmesg.txt i attached
I looked at the original drive with fdisk -l. I have made an image that I will be working with.
I had the same output when i used sfdisk on the image.
mount -o loop to /mnt fails it wants me to specify a filesystem and when i do it spits out a dmesg tail error.
is there anything else i can try like specifying an offset?
could anyone give me a general idea of how i may clone a 2 Gig disk running Solaris 7 on it to another disk of the same size?

Guys can anyone tell how can we do faster disk cloning
Below i found in google
1. dd if=/dev/sda of=/dev/sdb bs=4096 conv=noerror,sync
So adding "conv=noerror,sync " makes it faster looks against not adding it
2. Enable write cache activated (hdparm -W1 /dev/sda) then run dd ..

I am trying to clone the hard disk image of Solaris OS on one disk to another disk. After some googling I found that there is a command "dd" to achieve this.
