Need to clone WD800JB, but too many bad sectors

I’d recommend using ddrescue (found on most linux live rescue distros - I prefer SystemRescueCD).

Managed to recover everything it could off a failing WD3201ABYS drive (about 40% of the sectors not readable), where every other drive cloning tool failed me. Just prepare yourself with a lot of patience (took me about two contiguous weeks)
