I've used ddrescue version 1.5 under Linux to copy the drive, 300Gb, to a 500Gb external drive. That took over a week, with a substantial amount of errors. I then tried to use the -r parameter to attempt to retrieve some of the missing areas, but when I do so the process ends after about 15 minutes with "Input/output error". Can you suggest why this might be, and what I should try next.
The "Input/output error" message means that ddrescue received an error condition from the system when trying to write data to the output file. It seems the drive you are writing to is also having problems.
