Thank you! I will try the commands you suggested.

What is the filesystem in your destination drive (/media/recoverydrive)?

Both drives use a single, NTFS partition.

file, I'd like to create ten 50GB files. How do you do this in ddrescue?

Ooops! I forgot the size. Here are the correct commands:

sudo ddrescue -vn -i0 -o0 -s50GiB /dev/sdb /media/recoverydrive/01.img /media/recoverydrive/01.log

sudo ddrescue -vn -i50GiB -o0 -s50GiB /dev/sdb /media/recoverydrive/02.img /media/recoverydrive/02.log

sudo ddrescue -vn -i100GiB -o0 -s50GiB /dev/sdb /media/recoverydrive/03.img /media/recoverydrive/03.log

etc...
