[Bug-ddrescue] Having trouble mounting ddrescue image

[lonestarshack]

I'm trying to recover a NTFS partition that was on a hard drive in trouble.
To start, I have a SATA/USB converter that I used to attach to my PC running
FC14. The drive automounted once it was discovered and then I was able to
run ddrescue on just the main NTFS partition that was on the drive. I DID
NOT run ddresuce on the entire drive; just the NTFS partition I want to
recover. Due to problems with the hard drive, sometimes the drive would
unmount on its own. At that point, ddrescue would stop. So, since I was
using the log file option, I simply reattached the drive, it automounted,
and I continued with creating the image. I repeated this process until
ddrescue said it was finished. This took an insanely long time. Now, no
matter what I try to do, I can't seem to get this drive to mount. Here's an
fdisk output on the image which doesn't look good to begin with. Any
thoughts from the ddrescue wizards out there?

address@hidden internal]# losetup -r /dev/loop0 01.img
address@hidden internal]# fdisk -lu /dev/loop0

Disk /dev/loop0: 92.7 GB, 92674229760 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 11267 cylinders, total 181004355 sectors
Units = sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes
Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
Disk identifier: 0x69205244

This doesn't look like a partition table
Probably you selected the wrong device.

Partition table entries are not in disk order

address@hidden mnt]# 
address@hidden mnt]# losetup -r /dev/loop1 -o 32256 /mnt/internal/01.img
address@hidden mnt]# mount -t ntfs /dev/loop1 /mnt/ntfs
NTFS signature is missing.
Failed to sync device /dev/loop1: Input/output error
Failed to mount '/dev/loop1': Invalid argument
The device '/dev/loop1' doesn't seem to have a valid NTFS.
Maybe the wrong device is used? Or the whole disk instead of a
partition (e.g. /dev/sda, not /dev/sda1)? Or the other way around?

Here is what my logfile looked like:

address@hidden internal]# cat 01.log
