I've used ddrescue in the past but I can't seem to install it now! I ran https://cygwin.com/setup-x86_64.exe and installed ddrescue
In the dropdown under choose packages, I choose "full" so they all show and I choose "ddrescue" it's 1.25-1 and I click it so it installs so it shows "keep". And I click next and it claims to install. I haven't always looked at the version in the past but that kind of procedure has always installed that and things in the past. But then here I can't get ddrescue to run! I'm on Win7. C:\cygwin>dir Volume in drive C has no label.
