I personally prefer safecopy. It can do a coarse read first, then try more reads on damaged sectors. If you have a spinning rust drive that you had to put in the freezer to get it to work, that lets you get most data out without wasting repeated effort on unreadable sectors. Also works great for CDs! Source: about 2 years ago
Never tried myself, but there are tools like ddrescue and safecopy that try to grab what they can. Source: about 2 years ago
Http://safecopy.sourceforge.net/ (there are almost certainly better sources than sourceforge, but I'd try to avoid any windows stuff that is wildly different). Source: almost 3 years ago
Then use something like http://safecopy.sourceforge.net/ or http://hddguru.com/software/HDD-Raw-Copy-Tool/ or ddrescue to try to get the rest if you need it. Source: about 3 years ago
