I tried ddrescue and it seems to "work", except that there was 4 errors reported. When I went to look at the mount, it seems to indicate that the partition was not readable, perhaps left in some unknown state.
Take a look at the ddrescue logfile.
Are there any ddrescue options that I need to be aware of? The command I used was:
ddrescue /dev/sda2 /dev/sdb2
info ddrescue
Looks like you didn't make a logfile.
I would have copied the entire drive, not just a partition.
I tried to go into a working OS (XP) and tried to use the chkdsk /F E: and it says that it could not locate the master tables and kills chkdsk. It also says it is not a NTFS partition either.
This of course was on a Vista partition.
Again, RTM, esp. ch. 5.
