Try this:
-install the corrupted hard drive into your backup PC, assuming WIN32/FAT32 here... -boot from a Linux emergency rescue diskette that has both FAT32 support and your Linux filesystem support in the kernel. I've been using this neat little one called "Toms rbtb" or something like that. Go to yahoo.com and search for "toms boot linux disk". -login as root and mount the FAT32 partition you are going to copy the data to. -attempt to mount your Linux partitions and copy away. If the hard drive isn't corrupted too bad you might luck out and be able to recover some of that data.
