In general, it's a good idea to do a full image backup before you do any messing about with a drive. This is something the corporate IT guys certainly should have done, since often it's not reasonable to assume that some random employee (who might not be something with a huge amount of techie skills) should be expected to backup a hard drive before handing it to their internal help desk.
