I had a hd die on a server just last week. To get the data off it, I
just plugged it into my workstation, and then booted up with Knoppix. It
found the drive, mounted it, and just let me access the data with no
fuss. I then ftp'd all the data I needed to another server so it was
accessible to me when I was ready to copy it over again.
I guess whether this works depends on how f'd up the drive is, but this
was pretty quick and easy.
