Not without special software designed to scan the entire HD and copy each sector.

At this point, I'm not sure I'd mess with it - I'd treat it like forensic evidence and let the pro s handle it. That data is sitting on disk space your computer thinks is not spoken for. For all I know, Windoze could think that same space would make a juicy swap space and casually overwrite everything you are trying to save.
