May I sujest that you cp /dev/hdXX /something/my.friend.disk.image and
then use the loopback device suport to mount that file (and do what ever you
whant to it). You would have to enable this device (it's Floppy, IDE, and
other block devices->Loopback device support as a Additional Block Device).
You could even use some hexeditor to see the disk.
This solution only works if you still have the partition table intact
(well... it might help if you realy know how thing should be, like, what the
partition table was, and everything else).
Hope it helps.
