I got everything out of it. It will not boot, if I take a look at it I get supernode errors but dd walking right in and got everything out intact. That was the important part, that is done. What I am trying to figure out is what has changed between 20.04 and 22. 04 that is causing me so many issues with the video using Compiz. I am assuming that ddrescue is some tools that are wrapped around dd? I will have to check it out, but I found that just the basic dd did exactly what I needed to do.
Tnx for the info going to go look at it for the future.
