[Bug-ddrescue] (no subject)Help with ddrescue (please) Please

[Noel Donagh]

Hi,
Can anyone help with ddrescue?
I am newish to Linux and have after some difficulty succeeded in getting 
the program installed and to run. Still have to get it to do work.

It comes with a fairly terse help file and tutorial but I am too 
inexperienced with Linux to get the program to do work

What I want to do is like this.

Make an image of say hdd5 to sd1 as an image file and also to make a log 
file so I can stop and resume from where I stopped.

I know that it is not difficult for a fairly experienced user but my 
DOS/Win experience is little help in this.

I have made the output device read/write and even the input device 
read/write but keep getting the message "unable to open input device."

Some sample command scripts would even help.
Any help welcomed.
Regards Noel Donagh
