[ILUG] Recovering drive data

[Dale Dunlea]

Hi all,
I'm trying to find a way to recover a screwed up FAT32 partition, but
I'm thinking non-destructively. I've heard mention before of imaging the
drive using dd and then mounting the image. Not being an expert on file
systems by any means, what do we think I'm likely to have trouble with?

The disk itself does spin up and doesn't make any horrible clunking
noises, so I'm guessing that it should be possible to recover something
of it.

Thanks,
Dale.
