Why not boot knoppix linux LiveCD with the sick disk and a new disk (same size or larger) and then use the dd_rescue util (under Knoppix) to clone the sick disk to the new disk. Use the -A option to work past bad spots (with zero-fill in the respective target sectors on the new disk - you will have to chkdsk /r c: afterwards - you should do this anyways).
