-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 You can also use dd (I use ddrescue with a script called dd_rhelp as a front end) to copy the partition to another drive and/or computer. You can then try to mount the resulting file with -o loop option in mount to get your files off.
For example: dd if=/dev/hdxn of=/path/to/disk.bin mount -t reiserfs path/to/disk.bin /path/to/mount/point -o loop,uid=username Note if the disk is physically corrupt dd will error out. This is why I use ddrescue which has a number of options for dealing with failed disks. I know that ddrescue is packaged into Debian and Ubuntu, but YMMV with other distros. To make life easier you can use the dd_rhelp script from: http://www.kalysto.org/utilities/dd_rhelp/index.en.html to pass some reasonably good default options to ddrescue. The dd example above then becomes: dd_rhelp /dev/hdxn /path/to/disk.bin Knoppix has ddrescue installed, and dd_rhelp installs into Knoppix without issue, at least for me (standard ./configure && make && sudo make install ).
