Have you tried a program such as drive rescue (I got a portable version (for PC)from portablefreeware.com)
Likewise roadkill's unstoppable copier(google it, sorry no link) I don't know of Mac equivalents.
From memory the hard drive is a 1.8" Toshiba drive. If this is the case, you can get a USB enclosure to plug it into. (I got one on eBay for a similar situation with a faulty X-drive) You will need to pull the h340 apart before you buy it because there are a couple of pin configurations for 1.8 in drives. If you have to resort to cracking it open there was a video on youtube (I think) showing you how.
MisticRiver For iriver Enthusiasts would have more detail, I am going from memory and has been a long time.
