What he wants is to be able to read the information in Linux. A binary copy of a non-standard file system will regenerate a non-standard file system. Unfortunately, I think the problem is less the inability to read the drive than it is the inability to interpret the file system.
By "data recovery" I believe George means he is looking for file data, not disk data.
