Question: did you open the dmg afterwards to find any data? I tried this
last night

sudo ./ddrescue -B -v -r0 -n --cluster-size=40 /dev/rdisk2
/Volumes/Lacie/tentry/work.dmg work.log
And it really looked like it was moving this time around, but then I noticed
that it had 0 errors and this morning I wake to find that it has created a
dmg larger than the bad harddrive it's self.
And double clicking to open it gives me a warning message of
The disk image you are opening may be damaged and could damage your system.

So I will try and open it on a different computer but first have to back
that up.

Log
0x765EE45E00     ?
#      pos        size  status
0x00000000  0x765EE45E00  +
0x765EE45E00          -1  ?

Did I finally just screw this hard drive over?



sudo ddrescue -v -d -n --cluster-size=10 --input-position=500MB /dev/sdc
