You may want to try another program called teskdisk.  It will scan your drive 
and guess at the partitions.  It can re-write your partition table. Again, ymmv.

Well it appears it was just going slowly through a bad part of the disk = it
has completed.

I do however have another query - i have a disk with errors - its doesnt
show up in fdisk -l but fsdisk -l shows it as sdb. 

unrecognised partition table type
no partitions found
read input/output error - cannot read sector 0

Anything else I can try other than ddrescue -vn?

Cheers

-Al
