Windows scan issues

When scanning on Windows the command:

findbtc C:\

Returns

The handle is invalid.

Building / compiling

What OS and Go version was this developed on? I've tried Ubuntus 16, 18, and 24 and go versions around 1.6.2, 1.16, 1.17. The most I can get is:

export GOPATH=/home/ubuntu/mygo
go get -v github.com/jakewins/findbtc
[snip]/findbtc/detector/filesize_linux.go:4:2 found packages unix (affinity_linux.go) and main (mkasm.go) in [snip]/golang.org/x/sys/unix

I see no compiled/built file to run. I am only nominally aware of Go and running programs in Go. Any advice?

Error "Unable to scan target: bad file descriptor" on fresh install of Ubuntu 16.04.3

When I run findbtc /dev/sda or findbtc /dev/sdb (for my external drive) I get the following error:

[scan] Starting new target: /dev/sda
[scan] Unable to scan target: bad file descriptor
[COMPLETE]

This is on a fresh install of Ubuntu 16.04.3 with golang 1.6 installed from the Ubuntu repositories.

Output of ll /dev/sd*:

brw-rw---- 1 root disk 8,   0 Jan 22 07:29 /dev/sda
brw-rw---- 1 root disk 8,   1 Jan 22 07:29 /dev/sda1
brw-rw---- 1 root disk 8,   2 Jan 22 07:29 /dev/sda2
brw-rw---- 1 root disk 8,   5 Jan 22 07:29 /dev/sda5
brw-rw---- 1 root disk 8,  16 Jan 22 07:34 /dev/sdb
brw-rw---- 1 root disk 8,  17 Jan 22 08:06 /dev/sdb1

Am I perhaps making a simple mistake?

how to get the wallet.dat file from the scan result

hi, I scaned my pc, and got the result:

[scan] Starting new target: Gzipfile @ byte 6073704448 in [/dev/sda7]
[main] Found possible wallet trace:
  Found 'wallet.dat' at Gzipfile @ byte 6073704448 in [/dev/sda7] in 4kB block at byte offset 0

[main] Found possible wallet trace:
  Found 'defaultkey' at Gzipfile @ byte 6073704448 in [/dev/sda7] in 4kB block at byte offset 53248

how can I get the wallet.dat file?
thank you for your help!

Error: `[scan] Unable to scan target: gzip: invalid header`

When I run this after scanning 90+% or possibly 100% I get an uncountable (past my terminal's scrollback limit) number of lines with variations of:

[scan] Starting new target: Gzipfile @ byte 77406201856 in [/dev/sdb]
[scan] Unable to scan target: gzip: invalid header

followed by:

[COMPLETE]

Is there an argument I can add to get around this? Are the found (maybe just possible) wallets being saved somewhere I can find?
