Dear Dennis, I found at http://andrew.daviel.org/XP-disk-recovery.html, an interesting strategy to use Linux to recover data from a hard drive with NTFS system.
Perhaps the same strategy could be used for a HD with Linux (using "dd") ... dd if=/dev/sda1 of=sdb1 # aborted dd if=/dev/sda1 of=sdb1a skip=2035000 I then made a file to fill the gap, and joined the pieces together. I could then mount the resulting file loopback: dd if=/dev/zero count=704 of=zeroes cat sdb1 zeroes sdb1a > XP0 mount -t ntfs -o ro,loop=/dev/loop1 XP0 /mnt/test ...
