Hello Jason,

I am new to Linux/Ubuntu and am using it to clone/recover information
from a NTFS drive that the MBR became corrupt on.  I feel like I am
on the right track and have installed a 2nd drive that is recognized
by Ubuntu and is larger but when I start the sudo ddrescue -r3
/dev/sda2 /dev/sdb3 log command it crashes after about 20 min. due to
the drive being out of space.  I am running this from a Ubuntu live
CD and it appears to be creating the log file in the Ubuntu home
directory.  I am stumped.  Does my syntax to reach the output drive
not make sense?  Is there a way to point/redirect the file that is
being written to the home directory to instead go to the 2nd hard
drive?  Does it matter if the 2nd hard drive is mounted or not?  Or
formatted or not?

You need to create and mount a partition and then write the logfile there. For example:
  sudo ddrescue -r3 /dev/sda2 /dev/sdb3 /mnt/mypartition/log


Regards,
Antonio.
