I often get drives that will show up as a device (ie, /dev/sdc) including the model number of the drive, but because linux tries to load the partition table of the drive when it detects it, it results in a mess and subsequently you cannot access it via ddrescue.
Does anyone know of a way to tell linux not to load the partition table, or treat the drive as a raw binary device ( on the SATA bus in this case, I have an internal relay switch and dock assembly to let me power cycle the drives in software ) ?
