Without havingh read the man page of ddrescue, does it do more magic than 
"dd conv=noerror,sync" ?

Is there a chance that someone will find some TMS320C25 (TMS320C2x) dev tools?

The TI Datasheet lists:

Package   P/N
Macro Assembler/Linker  TMDS3242850-02
Simulator   TMDS3242851-02
C Compiler  TMDX3242855-02
Digital Filter Design Package (DFDP)DFDP-IBM002
DSP Software LibraryTMDC3240812-12

(only listet the pc-dos versions, vms, ultrix and SUN versions existed too)

I still have 14 pcs TMS320C25 laying around here and want to play with
them.

Regards,

Holm

Ah, OK. I did not follow before.

I think Windows is a really poor choice for this. Worse, it might have
tried to mount the filesystem R/W and conceivably damaged it further.

Rufus I use for writing Windows ISOs to USB, but nothing else. I don't
think it's a suitable tool for this at all.

>  Active Disk Image, and Macrium Reflect programs

Never heard of them, I'm afraid. I used to have Windows tools for this
stuff, 2 decades ago before I stopped using it unless someone was
paying me to, but they won't run on Win10.

It could be-- but it could also be that they're trying to copy a
mounted FS or something.

Couldn't you try to boot the image in a VM?

Much better plan.

If there are any errors on the drive, I would recommend GNU
``ddrescue``. Do not confuse this with the older (but still
maintained) dd_rescue which is the product that inspired the GNU one;
the newer one is more capable.

It images but skips and continues on error, whereas ``dd`` will simply fail.
