[Discuss] data recovery using Linux

[R. Langkamer]

	Okay so I used a demo application that will recover the wanted data, 
but if I can use Linux instead I can save a few hundred dollars. The 
demo program had an option to save an image of the "dead" drive so I 
did. I looked at the head of the first image file and it looked like it 
was simply an image that I could piece together and then mount.
	Well last night I manually cat'd all 60 pieces together into a single 
"image" file and then mounted it via loop. I am able to ls the files, 
but of course the wanted data is inaccessible.
	Is there a way I can pull the data off this image file? The image file 
in question is ntfs based since it came from an winxp install so I know 
that could limit what I can do, though I don't know for sure.

Thanks in advance!
