[TriLUG] Need help with recovering data from a drive

[Moustapha Barry via TriLUG]

Folks,
I have a machine that would not boot. Operating system not found. I tried
to use testdisk without luck. I than used a usb Linux boot stick to image
the drive. I get the error in the picture attached.
Error creating disk image: Error allocating space for disk image file: File
too large (g-io-error-quark, 0)

I am assuming that the empty space is considered in this image I am trying
to make. I did not use a particular tool but just clicking on the "More
Actions" icon at the bottom of the volume and selecting Create Disk Image
(see second image attached.

I would appreciate anybody's help on this. I believe that the boot record
was damaged and that imaging the drive will allow me to recover the data on
it. Is there any tool I can use to recover the data on this drive?
Thanks,
Moose
