Available athttp://www.cultdeadcow.com/tools/.   [Anonymous Link]

  • NTRecoveraccess a dead x86 NT system's disks from a good system over a serial connection. You can then salvage data off of the drives using native NT commands and utilities. With the write-version you can even run chkdsk on the dead system's drives! The read-only version is freeware. Available at http://www.sysinternals.com/ntutil.htm   [Anonymous Link]
