[Bug-ddrescue] GNU ddrescue HELP

[Kevin Doan]

Dear Sir or Madam,

After many research I found your great tool on your site and spend =
several days on trying to recover my damaged external Western Digital =
hard drive. That being said, it seems like it is taking eternity for it =
complete therefore I hope if you could help me. I have stopped the =
process and restarted the PC but speed is still extremely slow.

GNU ddrescue 1.18.1
About to copy an unknown number of bytes from /dev/disk3s3 to =
/Users/kevin/Desktop/Rescue.dmg
    Starting positions: infile =3D 0 B,  outfile =3D 0 B

Copying non-tried blocks... Pass 1 (forwards)


Even with the incomplete the Rescue.dmg file I tried to use the below =
command to recover the files:

kevin$ sudo /opt/local/bin/ddrescue --force -v -c 4096 =
/Users/kevin/Desktop/Rescue.dmg /dev/rdisk4s2 =
/Users/kevin/Desktop/MPA/recovery.log

But without any luck. Any help you could provide is greatly appreciated.

Thank you and best regards,
Kevin
