No partition table? you mean you didn't create it at first place or is
it damaged now?

Anyway, check DEFT Linux (http://www.deftlinux.net/) or System Rescue
CD (http://www.sysresccd.org/Main_Page). They are example of Linux
system that are made for system forensics and/or system resuce.

Tips: first thing you have to do, in my opinion, is creating exact
disc image. I think dd or its variant like dclfdd
(http://dcfldd.sourceforge.net/) could serve you well.

PS: you will get better answer if you direct your further question in
forensic related mailing list :)
