AW: Anybody familiar with dd (copy)?

[Schwibinger Michael <hbss@hotmail.com>]

Good morning

Thank You.

Can this help:

https://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/39504/best-way-to-copy-all-files-ignoring-errors,,hotmail

Best way to copy all files, ignoring errors? I have a partially corrupted HD that can not be repaired by Disk Utility, but which can be mounted read-only making the data on it accessible. I am trying to copy all the recoverable contents onto a apple.stackexchange.com

I put in a DVD

and try to copy the data to HD

mc is saying:

Cannot copy.

Do You want to ignore the DVD?

I think there was a bug during burning.

Is "dd" the best idea?

Regards

Sophie

Is this a vide DVD or data?

What does happen? If you do not give information that allows to
determine the error (if there is one) we can at best guess.

You forgot to describe what actually does happen. I believe that there
were quite a few instances where people explained that you have to
provide information if you want useful replies.

Cheers,
