Hello Brian-
This probably wouldn't be in a ddrescue FAQ anyway; it isn't a ddrescue
error. ddrescue is correctly telling you that /dev/sdc1 is not a
directory -- it's a partition on the disk /dev/sdc.
You need to mount the filesystem in this partition somewhere in order to
write a new file to it. For example,
mkdir /mnt/disk
mount /dev/sdc1 /mnt/disk
ddrescue --force -r 3 /dev/sda2 /dev/sdb1 /mnt/disk/log.txt
If /dev/sdc1 is NTFS, you will most likely need to run 'ntfs-3g
/dev/sdc1 /mnt/disk' instead of running 'mount'. You will of course want
to 'umount /mnt/disk' after you're done.
Are you running ddrescue from a live CD of some sort? This may affect
whether ntfs-3g is available (assuming that you need it, of course).
MMR...

Good Evening
wondered if you had a recommend place that I could learn more about DDrescue,
it is not very well documented(sample commands don't work and there is no FAQ
to help people when they get errors like I have below) , I have tried to save
the logfile several times and I am banging my head against the wall.
I am trying the command ddrescue --force -r 3 /dev/sda2 /dev/sdb1
/dev/sdc1/log.txt
I get the errors
Error opening logfile /dev/sdc1/log.txt for writing.: Not a directory
Any ideas?
Brian
