Hi Rob,

http://www.sysinternals.com/ntw2k/freeware/NTFSDOS.shtml

This is the freeware version of the NTFS reader for DOS. I have successfully extracted files from a NTFS volume so damaged that NT wouldn't even run chkdsk on it.

It seems the drivers they are using (their own stuff) are more forgiving than Microsoft's own.

Just remember to put a FAT32 formatted drive in also, so you have somewhere to copy the files to.

Best of luck.
