I involuntarily deleted a partition with 40 GB of classic music. I now try to recover as much as possible. I use magicrescue. Now I wonder how long it takes to scan the whole partition.
Unfortunately I do not know how to translate hex addresses ( used by magicrescue) in sectors (used by gparted).
The partition in question has 84550095 sectors with a blocksize of 512 whatever (at least it was formated with standard values).
The first address used when magicrescue started was:
0x6F64D4
Now, some hours later it is at
0x322147BA
How much in % is this of the whole partition? Will it need hours or days to scann the whole partition? |

First address in decimal 7300308
2nd address in decimal 841041050
Subtract 1st from 2nd.
833741542 sectors done if above are sector address.
You are almost through.
If above are byte address then divide by 512 (for 512 byte sector).
1628401 sectors done. God help you.
You can use your Advanced Calculator (you may have on your PC) to convert HEX to DECIMAL . Select HEX , enter HEX digits, then select DECIMAL to convert. Similarly from DECIMAL to HEX. |
