[Bug-ddrescue] disc>disc copy done. can't mount target drive.

[Jaime Frontero]

so i have a FAT32 1TB drive with errors, and used gddrescue in whole disc mode 
to rescue it to a 2TB drive.  i used the following commands:

ddrescue -n /dev/sdh /dev/sdb logfile  [nb:33 hours of cranking...]
ddrescue -dr2 /dev/sdh /dev/sdb logfile

/dev/sdh is in a USB enclosure, /dev/sdb is connected normally to the 
motherboard (both drives are SATA).

the data noted as saved was impressive - only about 300kb of errors left, out 
of over 900 GB.

i followed the instructions for disc>disc rescue in the man page: "Note: you do 
not need to partition /dev/hdb [/dev/sdb in my case] beforehand."  i did not 
partition /dev/sdb.

but now (Mint 8=Ubuntu 9.10), while i can see the target drive (marked healthy) 
in the disk utility, all i see is unallocated space.  i can't figure out how to 
mount the blasted thing without re-partitioning it (that would probably be a 
/bad/ thing, yes?).  i'm assuming - given the time it spent having stuff copied 
onto it - that the data is there *somewhere*.

where is it?  how do i get it?  embarrassing - i'm probably missing something 
abysmally simple...

thank you.
