One thing to try is to run the "strings" command on the unmounted disk,
and pipe the result to a file on another disk, which you then edit to
extract the info that you need.

Usually you won't be able to run vi on the resulting file, because it
will be too big.  If that happens, you can use strings piped into
combinations of head and tail to extract 10K-line pieces.
