MY QUESTION:I have formatted NTFS the new hard disk before launching
the cloning operation. Is this wrong ? Maybe is it better that the
new hard disk is not formatted before the cloning ? That is: cloning
with gnu_ddrescue the new hard disk inherits the partitioning of the
corrupted hard disk ?
If you are cloning the whole disk (not a partition), then yes, the new
hard disk inherits the partitioning of the corrupted hard disk, and
formatting the new disk before cloning is not needed.
See

Example 1: Rescue a whole disc with two ext2 partitions in /dev/hda to
/dev/hdb.
Note: you don't need to partition /dev/hdb beforehand, but if the
partition table on /dev/hda is damaged, you'll need to recreate it
somehow on /dev/hdb.
ddrescue -f -n /dev/hda /dev/hdb mapfile
ddrescue -d -f -r3 /dev/hda /dev/hdb mapfile

Best regards,
Antonio.
