fdisk /dev/sda, use 'p' to print the partition table. If the disk is the brand new one, it will have no partitions, or it may sometimes be preformatted with a Windows partition. If you want to be totally sure, just mount the disks in turn, and 'ls' the contents of the mount point. > Q2 - I then intend to use > root# ddrescue -r-1 -n -S -v /dev/sda /dev/sdb recovery.log > to clone from sda to sdb > Is this correct please?
