Does anybody here know how to use ddrescue? If so, I want to know how do I use it with between a working internal hard drive and a failing hard drive? Do I run ddrescue on the pc with a failed hard drive or do I run it with a good working hard drive (source) with the failing one (target) being connected externally to the working pc? Which is the correct method to run it? Please Help.
