Too late - bought a My Book from WD. (Strange that a My Book was $40
cheaper than a bare drive.)
See email to Michael about what happens when I try to mount the
partition. Since /dev/sdb seems corrupted, I might reformat it to store
/dev/sdc3 which I can get - only takes a day to dd.

For one thing, it means you can try mounting each file readonly ('mount
-o ro,loop file.for.partition.1 /mnt/looking').
For another, if you had multiple partitions, each of which would fit on
drives you have 'laying around', but all of which wouldn't fit on a
single drive - you can restore the partitions to different drives and
possibly be up and running without having to buy a new drive
immediately....

installed gdisk and it looks like /dev/sdb is damaged, but /dev/sdc is
good :) doing a dd on the whole drive to a file on another drive so I
have a backup. I'll check back in a couple days when it's done.
