[lug] Data recovery

[Gary Hodges]

I have a dual boot (XP and Ubuntu) Dell Mini9 with a failed SSD hard 
drive.  I booted the machine with a live CD, and fdisk -l indicates the 
drive has no partitions.  I connected an external hard drive and ran:
dd_rescue /dev/sda /dev/sdb

That completed with some information about bad sectors.  I also ran the 
same command again with another external drive, this time creating an 
image file which I have since copied to my main computer.  I gave the 
first external drive to our IT dept to see what they could do with it, 
and I would also like to try and retrieve some files on my own using the 
image I created.

I've done some searching, but most everything I've read assumes some 
partitions to work with.  The files I am interested in retrieving are 
all pictures, and all have IMG in the file name.  I'm looking for ideas 
to try and retrieve those files.  They are all on the Ubuntu partition. 
  I don't care about anything on the Windows partition.
