These might help, for a start at least.

Is the data human readable?  If so you can connect the hdd to a working 
system.  Then apply Partitions.PartitionToFile dev#part file [block blocks] ~.  
Then use a text editor on file to sort your data.

An alternative is to define a syntax, such as in SGML or XML, 
and contain all the data in one or a few files.
