Yes, Enabling the ROOT user is the way I have done this in the past. I also use Carbon Copy Cloner to do 'complete' copies and have had good success with Drive Genius 2 to repair and copy files.

If you enable the Root user on your external HD and login as Root you can access any user folder on any connected drive. Although I'm not sure what problems you might have with permissions on the files after they have been copied somewhere else.

Brian's suggestion of Knoppix is definitely worth looking into.
