TestDisk is a free data recovery software that can be used to recover lost partitions and/or make non-booting disks bootable again. That is, you don’t have to wait for an error, stop the program, restart it from a new position, etc. The basic operation of ddrescue is fully automatic. It manipulates ddrescue mapfiles, shows mapfile contents, converts mapfiles to/from other formats, compares mapfiles, tests rescue status, and can delete a mapfile if the rescue is done. Ddrescue is a GNU data recovery tool that copies data from one file or block device (hard disc, cdrom, etc) to another, trying to rescue the good parts first in case of reading errors.
