Yes that package (gddrescue) provides ddrescue
 vs.
dd_rescue which is provided by the package ddrescue

I mean the stuff that XP puts in c:\Documents and Settings\[username.domain], 
though in this case Vista puts them in c:\User\[username.domain].  I don't 
care about system, program or configuration files, though copying that entire 
directory will inevitably give me the config files that aren't in the 
registry.
