Here is one possible solution:
1) buy an external USB hard drive.
2) boot a live CD
3) use 'dd if=/dev/hdan of=backupfileonusbdisk conv=noerror conv=sync'
when 'n' will be the various partitions you're trying to back up - do this
for each partition of interest.
4) you can now mount that backupfile via the loop device and recover the
data on another computer or new hard disk.
