Cloning with UNC errors

[Dave48838]

I am attempting to clone 2 HD's for a POS server. These are two IBM Deskstars, model ic35l020aver07-0 drives, 20GB drives. I'm cloning these to two 40gb Maxtor drives. The first one cloned fine with acronis, the second one didn't. I checked it with mhdd and it had 13 UNC errors, I'm assuming this is why acronis didn't work.

So I have 3 questions:

1:) Is there a way for me to clone this w/o hardware?

2:) Will ddrescue do this or will it fail as well?

3:) If not, what recommendations would you have for someone in the states to do this.

ddrescue is your best bet if you've decided to accept the risks involved with DIY & its free
