actually, ddrescue is no where near what op is looking for. in fact he
has not made any statement about needing to rescue/recover anything,
which ddrescue is intended for.

from;

  http://www.gnu.org/s/ddrescue/ddrescue.html

it leads off;

  GNU ddrescue is a data recovery tool. It copies data from one file or
  block device (hard disc, cdrom, etc) to another, trying hard to rescue
  data in case of read errors.
