Hello, I'm trying to run dd_rescue in order to copy data from a hard drive that must have a problem with its partitioning table to a different hard drive. But I only get a fatal "spurious options" error.
Here's the output of my attempts: user@user-ThinkPad-T61:~$ sudo dd_rescue /dev/sdb /dev/sdc/ hdimg [sudo] password for user: dd_rescue: (fatal): spurious options: hdimg ... dd_rescue Version 1.14, [email protected], GNU GPL ($Id: dd_rescue.c,v 1.59 2007/08/26 13:42:44 garloff Exp $) dd_rescue copies data from one file (or block device) to another.

Note: Sizes may be given in units b(=512), k(=1024), M(=1024^2) or G(1024^3) bytes This program is useful to rescue data in case of I/O errors, because it does not necessarily abort or truncate the output. user@user-ThinkPad-T61:~$ Please advise.
