Howdy.

If it's actually LiveState Recovery then VMWare can mount the image as if it was a standard VM... It might allow you to create it as a hard drive, then load a bootable linux distro and perform some data recovery..
well i tried the other options and they didn't work. I then tried the VM option and things are looking good, it's now showing that there is data unlike before it was saying that the image contained zero data..
will get back in a few minutes while i try to get it ironed out.

cheers
