Lowlevelling seems the way to go indeed, if there's anything that can be
done. Just back up the drive with
dd if=/dev/hdX conv=noerror bs=4096 | gzip > /some/where/bak.gz
lowlevel format it, and dump the whole image back. I guess that's the
best cance you have to save as much as possible, from what you said it
should be pretty much verything, mabe except for the MBR and some
Windoze stuff.
