How do I mount an IMG file in Ubuntu for Photorec (beginner at linux)

  • 772

I created a copy of my 1tb HDD drive from ddrescue and wanted to mount this IMG file to then recover data from Photorec.

How to mount an IMG file as if it was an actual HDD/pen drive inserted by USB. Please explain in detail as I'm getting the hang of ubuntu systems; used to use Windows.

mount photorec

  1. Photorec doesn't run on mounted filesystems, you should run it on the image itself:

    sudo photorec /path/to/disk.img
