Extracting an iso image under linux via dd yields greppable strings which indicate files are hiding inside. How do I extract the files without knowing what format or filesystem they are in? Mounting the iso as a loop device in Linux yields no listable files. This disc is from ~2000. I assume the final FAT written to the disc is either corrupt or unreadable but files are written earlier on the disc. Is there a "file boundary guesser" that I can pipe the ISO to, which will spit out the possible files? tag:ask.metafilter.com,2008:site.103167 Wed, 01 Oct 2008 12:50:41 -0800 burner cdr cdrom cdrw corruption data dd iso iso9660 linux recovery resolved benzenedream
