ddrescue -B -n /dev/baddrive /dev/newdrive
/media/usbflashdrive/logfile
Close, but you forgot about partitions.
You can copy the disk as a whole, and partition data will be copied
too. There will just be unallocated space at the end of the drive. But
Ariel is right in that it is more useful to use that space.
4. If I it cannot be mounted, use PhotoRec to recover
files ???
Don't know this tool.
If PhotoRec doesn't cut it, and you're willing to pay for software,
GetDataBack for NTFS (www.runtime.org) has worked best for me. I don't
think PhotoRec has anyway of recovering fragmented files, but software
that understands NTFS can try to rebuild the MFT and piece some of the
fragmented files back together.
