There appears to be a hardware problem as well, since 'dd' sometimes gets stuff and sometimes doesn't, and there are all those "drive not ready" console messages, but I'd appreciate the use of your Linux/ext2 tools if I do manage to image the drive.

This afternoon I'll try more experiments, including moving the drive to another computer in case the IDE controller is flaky. I powered it down overnight to cool off. (And to help me resist the temptation to stay up until dawn dicking around with it.)
