I am looking for some software that is capable of doing a sector-to-sector copy of the hard drive.I have tried dd but with conv=noerror,sync it would just fill 0's for the whole block size (say, in order to get best speed you will want bs=128k or even larger, but that means that you will lose data when 1 of these 256 sectors is bad). Is there any program that is smarter which do a sector-to-sector copy for these failed blocks and use larger transfer buffer for others?The src/tools/tools/recoverdisk does exactly that.
Ah, great, and especially it's available from LiveFS disc as /usr/sbin/recoverdisk!
