I had an 60GB IBM hard drive to die but before it died completely 
(making very disturbing noises, which you never want to hear from a HD) 
I managed to make a copy using dd. Unfortunately the copy was corrupted 
due to I/O errors on the dying disk. There was no way to mount copied 
image, it was way too corrupted, but Foremost helped me retrieve quite a 
few files I needed.

Regards,
Dariusz
