I am trying to recover data for a friend. I have cloned their drive and ddrescue reported no errors.

When I try to access the destination drive I can access it, it reports 200 GB free space of 2 TB so I know there is something on it but I can't see any of the files. I think that ddrescue got all the files but not the filesystem. I was using ddrescue in Linux Parted Magic.

The command I used was:

ddrescue /dev/sda /dev/sdc /media/sdh2/log/log.log

The log file also reported no errors.

Good news I think I've got the whole drive back .I removed the clone from my parted magic linux system put it on a windows 10 system ran chkdsk driveletter: /f /x which rebuilt the file system /f finds errors /x forces drive dismount . If I find any files that wont open I will run chkdsk driveletter: /f /r /x adding the /r which locates and recovers bad sectors.
