Question: how to mount an image created with ddrescue of a partition with ntfs filesystem

The question is about OpenSuperClone, not ddrescue, despite the title.

I'm asking here because after searching internet I couldn't find any working solution, as I've tried.

Essentially I cannot mount an image created with ddrescue of a partition with ntfs filesystem, and this probably because the source ntfs filesystem is a bit corrupted (though not too much as I never realized the disk was starting failing before I saw I couldn't read a few files).

The issue Is very similarly perfectly described here: https://superuser.com/questions/1732201/cannot-mount-image-of-ntfs-partition-recovered-through-ddrescue but when I ran the ddrescue command I dit use the -f option.

Just for information the ntfs partition is in a disk in a laptop running archlinux, but I wouldn't move the hard drive to a windows OS and run chkdsk on it as I would sure loose most of the data.

I wander if OpenSuperClone is able to help with this issue and what would be the correct course of action with OpenSuperClone.

Thank you, Marcello
