Mounting damaged NTFS partition

[creaker]

Usually, if I need to retrieve data from damaged partition, I do the following:
1. dd if=/dev/sdX of=image.dd
2. losetup and/or mount
3. testdisk on image

Now I have a drive with a 1Tb capacity and it quite huge to create a copy, especially with taking into account that partition has a lot of bad bloks. It may take a few days. So I wondering, is there any other way to mount this damaged partition?
Partitions table seems OK: I can access the first and the second partition, but I need access to the third one.

You could always mount with the -ro option to force readonly. If it gets past that, you should be able to copy stuff off and kill -9 or ctrl-c whenever it hits the damage.
