Ethan, Theres a PC program called Filemaster that will create all different emulator images etc. I think you can pullup the disk or files you want to rescue then create a new image then you can drag all files over to the new image and hopefully backup the files. I did this anyway when I encountered a bad .D64 image and I couldnt access or copy the files out of the image so I hope this could possibly help.
