	As far as I can tell, the recovery tool made simply a data dump (as if 
dd had been run).
	I could possibly do that, but I'm not sure how that will help recover 
the missing data. Though the data is not really missing, just that it 
got jumbled around is out of place. Are you thinking that once it is 
back on a good drive that a disk repair utility might re-order the data?
