Did I do something wrong while trying to recover files with foremost?

  • 772

When I run this command on foremost,

sudo foremost -i /dev/hda -o /recovery/foremost

I get,

Processing: stdin

Is this right or did I miss a step when I followed this guide?

data-recovery 12.04

    I think you could add the option "-d" (which means "indirect block detection", that works fine with unix) and specify the kind of files you want to recover (like zip or jpg or ole). The result: 

    sudo foremost -d -o /recovery/foremost -t jpg,ole,zip -i /dev/hda
