I've had a drive crash where the spindle motor bearings overheated and 
got stuck.
Using mild violence I now have the drive spinning again and need to do 
some data recovery.

It has to be something that is able to handle read errors without stopping,
I am thinking dd, any other suggestions?

Thanks,
Per olof
