[Bug-ddrescue] ddrescue and partition table

[Trio3b]

mandriva linux. 40gb hdb  (hdb1 34gb, hdb3 3gb) used for backup went bad.
error message "no permissions"., or wrong fs, bad superblock etc.

Moved to new PC with hda. partitioned 

hda1 - /
hda6 - /home
hda7 - /resue  42gb specifically to hold hdb1

tried ddrescue -n /dev/hdb1 /dev/hda7 logfile

now hda7 won't mount with same error message  of "no permission" or wrong
fs, bad superblock

permissions are given

I believe partition table of hdb is corrupt. Is ddrescue copying bad
partition table from hdb to hda7 so it won't mount?

Any help appreciated
