I need help. My wd 500gb backup has developed bad sectors according to SMART.

Every time I try to access my hdd in windows 7 it locks my PC up. My bios and Windows still recognizes it but I cant back up my drive. I cant even explore the folders as that will cause an instant lockup.

Anyone have suggestion on how to back up my data? I need a program that will recover my data in a non-windows environment.
 
Use a Linux Live CD like Ubuntu. GetDataBack might also work here as well.
