I'm running ddrescue right now to transfer data from a 200GB SATA hard drive formatted as NTFS with 8kb in bad sectors to a 320GB SATA hard drive that's clean. This is the second time I'm running this process.
The first time I did the transfer, I noticed the 320GB drive was reported as having 8kb in bad sectors like the original 200GB drive when I run chkdsk on Windows XP. Should I expect bad sectors to be "transferred" to the new drive, as I noticed in my case? I don't know which version of ddrescue I'm running because it's still running but it's on the Trinity 3.4 build 367 rescue CD. The command I ran the first time was: ddrescue /dev/sda /dev/sdb The command that is running right now is: ddrescue -d -r3 /dev/sda /dev/sdb Thanks! Peace...
