[nelly22]

I want to use ddrescue and i would like to know how to install it to 10.4.11?

There is two similarly named tools and i want to use tool created by Antonio Diaz Diaz:

I used MacPorts.

Performance

I should add: if you have any computer that can boot from UBCD and then run Parted Magic, you may find that preferable to running ddrescue on OS X.

For example, in https://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?p=20556699#post20556699 I got the best performance from the oldest Mac – with Parted Magic.

MacPorts

I don't know anything about this but I did install it and ran disk utility and now my external hard drive is fixed and readable.
