Yes.

Read  the tool's homepage. But I'm pretty sure it just looks at the  
bits on the drive and saves any collection of said bits which match  
specification for a jpeg, doc &c file. I.E. no remaining filesystem  
is needed, it does exactly what you need (although filenames aren't  
preserved. I don't know about the other suggestions, so they might be  
worth trying first.

Very wise!!

Do this FIRST! BEFORE you do anything else. Then you can always dd  
the drive back to its current state and try a different method if the  
first fails.
