Hello.

I have a 500 GB hard drive with one NTFS-partition on it. I can mount it with Ubuntu and view the contents. But when I try to copy something, I get an I/O error.

Ok, I tried to make its image with dd. I/O error as soon as it starts.

I have installed ddrescue, but its manual page says not to use it with drives, failing on I/O.

Can I manage to get some information from this drive and how to do this?
