When using dd with flags conv=noerror,sync
It tries reading after the disc ends.

This line in cygwin tries reading past end of media:
 dd if=/dev/sdd of=kkkkkk bs=512 skip=156280250 conv=noerror,sync
dd: reading `/dev/sdd': Input/Output error
21120+0 records in
21120+0 records out
10813440 bytes (11 MB) copied, 1.151 seconds, 9.4 MB/s
dd: reading `/dev/sdd': Input/Output error
21120+1 records in
21121+0 records out
repeats "forever"


In linux the same:
 dd if=/dev/hda of=kkkkkk bs=512 skip=90069830 conv=noerror,sync
10+0 records in
10+0 records out

Stops at end of disk. Whos wrong?
