You would have to understand the file-system itself.

The files may not even be contiguous. You should try to find out what
the parameters of the partition are, create a mountlist with the
appropriate settings, and mount the partition. Even if the file-
system is damaged, this will allow you to run a standard file recovery
program such as DiskSalv.
