If you only want to rescue some stuff from the broken disk I would have put it in a Linux machine (or used the Knoppix Linux CD distribution you can boot and run Linux from a CD) and do the stuff there. If you are making a tool for poking damaged disks I still think looking at the Linux kernel might be worth it because I don't think the specs of NTFS are published? -- �I think fish is nice, but then I think that rain is wet.
