Or you could just throw together a decent sized VM and run Linux and all the fun recovery tools from there.
From Windows 8 and above daemon tools and similar programs are not longer required to mount iso and img-files, you can mount these natively in windows. Therefore my question above about the file not being an iso according to previous answers, what i tried to ask before was if it's possible to "convert" a file created this way to a iso or img-file? Not sure if windows or maybe daemon/similar can mount it anyways if i'll just name it ".iso" and give it a try.
I will use both linux and windows tools, depending on how deep i need to dig. I have more experience recovering whole partitions with windows-tools.
Thank you for a decent answer
EDIT: Just read about osfmount you told me about and this seems to be able to aim specifically at dd-images, perfect. Thx once again, now i dont need to worry about that. Just still a bit unsure on how datarecovery from a image will work though, but as i understood from here and some more googling it should work as well as if i copied it to another drive sector-by-sector
