TBH, that command has never failed me on a HDD that was not damaged ...
NB: the /f switch must always be run with /r (you'll notice in the /r help text it refers to implies /f (i.e "goes without saying include /f")
I have a feeling there are still some virtual disk errors that /r could not retrieve data from as it just gets the sector stuff.
Good luck....
