get one of those linux live cds and save data through a usb stick. ubuntu seems the best at these things, but you can try specialty distro's like DSL, sysresccd (sysresccd.org), or others. (me thinks they're bootable on a mac, i'm not sure, but i just think linux runs on anything). find the version for the right chipset, if intel na yung sayo, most likely may runable na diyan. but if not, find the one for ppc. try this link i googled : http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20050302225659382 "Recover a dead hard drive using dd"
