how to trick kernel: ata1.00: both IDENTIFYs aborted, assuming NODEV

Hi there.

I'm ddrescue-ing my old SATA HDD and everything was fine till today until I moved to
some group of bad sectors.
I cannot detect my hdd anymore in Linux :

Code:

[    1.523611] ata1: SATA max UDMA/133 abar m2048@0xda133000 port 0xda133100 irq 126
[    1.837502] ata1: SATA link up 3.0 Gbps (SStatus 123 SControl 300)
[    1.838024] ata1.00: both IDENTIFYs aborted, assuming NODEV

I still can detect it via BIOS and even read partition table via external SATA --> USB connection. Still, I cannot ddrescue it correctly in this case as it hangs as described there.

So, how can I trick my kernel so it will detect partition tables again via internal SATA connection?

Maybe i could even change the kernel source for short time for this case only?
As i understand from the web it might just relate to some timeouts.

so use a different usb, or

(The advice is to plug the drive directly to the motherboard).

I don't think you want to trick the kernel. And also I think there is no trick which will make that hdd working.
Additionally I would try to wait more...
