Yeah, I think I got lucky. Other folders were damaged beyond DIY recovery, but the most important one, the user folder, copied over without a hitch. It paused for about 20 sec in the middle of the copy, but kept going afterwards.

If you read the original thread - I think parts of the drive were failing, but it had not yet gone into massive failure - no click click or anything - so that may be part of the reason I was able to grab that data.
