There are also linux distros like Helix which are designed to facilitate file recovery. They give you a lot of tools to do different mount options and basically allow you to search files on the disk, copy whatever files you want to another part of the filesystem, then save them whereever including external usb devices.

Not that new. I have used a Ubintu disc and a USB drive to recover Windows files in the past. Not that difficult. Works great.

I have used OpenOffice on Linux to open files that just won't open on Windows in Office. This is always a great think when it is your boss's report that refuses to be open and has to be submitted in 10 minutes.
