I've used this dd_rescue approach once before, and was able to recover my critical files. But, I believe that if you have to go to this extreme, buy a new drive ASAP. The drive in question for me, did work for a while (other than the bad partition), but it refuses to take a format now at all. So that drive is now a paperweight.
