Why do you not have a backup if your data is important? What if the drive motor fails. Data recovery literally costs thousands of dollars but a 500Gb USB drive is a couple of hundred.

You can mount interal partitions from the live cd and copy to a healty (or just an external) partition for storage. If the partition is screwed you can use foremost to maybe recover data but you will need a partition large enough to store the data you require

Can you help with this problem?
