Thanks Graeme, 

Also my vga card is broken, probably tomorrow I'm getting a new one and I can give a try.

You can try Foremost which can recover data even deleted stuff from a DD image, there was another package that works on the command line but I cannot recall the name of it just now. Your success rate will depend on the type of data you are trying to recover, from experience foremost works better on certain types of files.
