To do what you want to do, no, you don't have to have the drive partitioned or formatted.  What you are doing should work.

Are you sure that sdc is the correct device?

What does

sudo lshw -C disk -short

show?

Hi Guys,

I am running Ubuntu. I have booting off sda.

sdb is a NTFS based disk with errors. I want to clone it as best as possible
to sdc. sdc is a brand new disk, not containing any partitions or initalised
etc. sdc is heaps bigger that sdb.

When I try "sudo ddrescue -v /dev/sdb/ /dev/sdc logfile"

I get "no space left on device"

I asusme its something to do with the new disk, maybe having to copy/mount
in raw? please help.

Cheers

-AL
