This is the very question my
good friend had few days ago.
He has another os, but anyway.
The point is to find second
machine, attach dead hdd as a
second drive (it is not quite
dead, if you see files?), try
live system... Not the same
scenario as yours, but could
help. Why would you use inter-
faces like usb or parralel?
Or, maybe, approach it from
first hdd?
Best regards
