I am new to Linux/Ubuntu and am using it to clone/recover information from a NTFS drive that the MBR became corrupt on. I feel like I am on the right track and have installed a 2nd drive that is recognized by Ubuntu and is larger but when I start the sudo ddrescue -r3 /dev/sda2 /dev/sdb3 log command it crashes after about 20 min. due to the drive being out of space. I am running this from a Ubuntu live CD and it appears to be creating the log file in the Ubuntu home directory. I am stumped. Does my syntax to reach the output drive not make sense? Is there a way to point/redirect the file that is being written to the home directory to instead go to the 2nd hard drive? Does it matter if the 2nd hard drive is mounted or not? Or formatted or not? I feel like I have tried every available combinations such as formatting the 2nd drive as ext3/ext4/and NTFS. I have also tried to leave it as an unformatted drive. I think I am close to pulling this off but I can't get the output log file correct. Any thoughts would be appreciated. Thank you- Jason
