A friend of mine is suffering from the following problem:

He has ordered the part, but cannot get the data off because they will
only do it in the states.  Unfortunately he doesnt have a abckup...as
a matter of fact he was going to back it up when this happened.

The only things I could suggest were to try & boot from a live cd &
see if it can be detected at all through proc or whatever & then dd
the data off.  I also suggested that he could tr and install it in an
older computer.

This apparently shows how to solve the problem:

I thought I would query folks out there to see if they can offer anything else.
