     Hi there,

     my hd died this morning and I know it is too late and I don't have a
     backup but is there a way to do a raw read and gather all the
     information that can be read? One thing might be kind of a problem, however,
     since the hd is damaged at its very beginning and attempting to mount it gives
     I/O error on sector 0 and the consecutive ones. So, is there a way to jump
     after those erroneous sectors and read what's left. Any pointers would be
     greatly appreciated, thanks!

     P.S. I'm off to buy a new hd. Any particular brands I should keep away
     from?

     Regards,
     Boris.
