what type it is and so forth.)
Yes, any good file recovery tool will search for filesystems
independently of the partition table... assuming they can read
the disk at all.

Actually, in the case of electrically dead / medium-crazed media,
reasonably good hard disk recovery is down in the $400-600 range
(see

To think they went to all that trouble, then left the password
