Hi, another utility you could use is Data Rescue. The best is to know where the first allocation block for the used partition(s) starts, and its size, and set all that manually in the app. Then you can recover everything from the partition. To know these figures, you can use Silverlining Pro, that also does the same job as MountEverything by affecting a "virtual" driver to the partition.
