In my case, I got lucky, only the first 2048 bytes seemed to have been bad.
All I needed to do was create a MBR and a partition of 0/1/1 to the end with the right file system type and it found everything. I don't know if the real drive can be fixed, but the image was.
Thanks,

Re: Partition: Read error
The cloned drive reports that there is no end marker for the partition. Can I create a partition that uses min-max values since the drive only ever had one? ddrescue could not recover only the first 8k of the drive, everything else was retrieved successfully it thinks.
Thanks,

Partition: Read error
I have a drive that seems to have lost its MBR. I'm not sure what to do at this current point. The log files seem to indicate that it is seeing a FAT table and whatnot.
