Jeff gives me too much credit.  My only recommendation is to seek out
UBCD -- "The Ultimate Boot CD" (http://www.ultimatebootcd.com/).  Burn
yourself a copy, and experiment.  The CD's a wild and woolly collection of
repair and rescue software thrown together with little documentation if
any.  Here be dragons.  However, on occasion with lots of breath-holding,
it's gotten me out of a few jams.
