[Herts] Recovering a faulty drive

It looks like my old harddrive may finally have died. The PC wouldn't boot
and the drive is making some strange noises.

Luckily I do have a backup from a couple of months ago and there's not much
in the way of essential data on it, but I'd like to recover some files if I
can.

I've booted up the PC with an Ubuntu CD, but I'm not sure on the best way to
proceed from there. I know Malc had something similar a while back. Any
tips?
