Hello,
Copy the whole hd to another disk or an ftp server. This makes sure that
another disk failure won't destroy any more data. If you know the exact
start/end of the partition, you can mount it using something like this:
losetup -o start_position_in_bytes /dev/loopX image
mount /dev/loopX /mnt

regards
