Have you ever opened your Microsoft Word, Excel or PowerPoint files only to know that you cannot access them anymore? Well, I know how frustrating it is especially if the file contains some important data about your existing school project or research work. These circumstances really happen once in a while and the reasons vary from one user to another user. I have a fair share of these experiences and I used to skip sleep at night times just to retype/rewrite those corrupted documents. And it is just now that I discovered that there are actually ways to recover Microsoft Office documents(Word, Excel, PowerPoint) which I will share with you in this post.

dd_rhelp is a bash script that handles a very usefull program written in C which is called dd_rescue, it roughly act as the dd linux command with the caracteristic to NOT stop when it falls on read/write errors.
This makes dd_rescue the best tool for recovering hard drive having bad sectors.In short, it’ll use dd_rescue on your entire disc, but will try to gather the maximum valid data before trying for ages on badsectors. So if you leave dd_rhelp work for infinite time, it’ll have the same effect as a simple dd_rescue. But because you might not have this infinite time , dd_rhelp will jump over bad sectors and rescue valid data. In the long run, it’ll parse all your device with dd_rescue.
You can Ctrl-C it whenever you want, and rerun-it at will, it’ll resume it’s job as it depends on the log files dd_rescue creates.In addition, progress will be shown in a ASCII picture of your device beeing rescued.
Why use dd_rhelp and not dd_rescue ?
