Re: [sleuthkit-users] Fw: dd file size limitations?

[<Fra...@ps...>]

Ok I got autopsy to see the file on the other drive.

Here's another one of my dumb questions...

The image I have is of a windows 2000 server which is on a raid=20
configuration.  I think the drive is about 139gig.  I'm not sure how large =

the image would be...

As most security forensics people who are jack of all trades I've been=20
asked to try and undelete a log file that might be within the image.  But=20
I only have a 40 gig hd.  I've tried to uncompress the the files sent to=20
me and it got to 32 gig and stopped due to the limit of the drive.

Can I use the portion of the image that I was able to uncompress and use=20
it in Autopsy?

I have added as an image, and received the following...
Linking /cygdrive/h/scd/scd/scd0004.tst to=20
/cygdrive/h/scd/SCD0001/scd0001/images/scd0004.tst
Calculating MD5 of images/scd0004.tst (this could take a while)
+----+----+----+----+----+----+----+----+----+----+----+----+----+----+----=
+----+----+----+----+----+----+----+----+----+----+----+----+----+----+----=
+----+----+----+----+=20
Current MD5: 1EE487013EFE27AFFA3CC964DA4CEA56
The problem is that I don't get the cute "OK" button.  And when I open=20
another browser with autospy it doesn't show the image.
Apparently it created the MD5 hash...
I think I did open a partical image once and got the "OK" button.
Do I need to wait for that button?  If so how long?  And the browser=20
(FoxFire) at the bottom left corner says "done".

Nope.  'make' compiles the program and configures it.  All you have to=20
do to run autopsy is to run the 'autopsy' command.

Is it saying that it can't find the file or that it isn't a valid=20
partition.  Did you merge the 1GB slices back into one big file?=20
Autopsy / TSK do not currently support slices.  They support only a=20
full image.  Is the image of the entire disk or of each partition?=20
Autopsy / TSK currently only support partitions.  Can you see the image=20
file by typing 'ls /cygwin/h/folder1/....'?
