Hi Joanne,
It'd be hard to go past Steve Gibson's SpinRite 6.0 for pure brute sophistication.
It'll have a good go at recovering data from just about anything.

Subject: [THIN] OT: PC hard disk recovery tools
We've been experiencing a lot of disk failure lately on the desktop scene. Do
you guys have any favorite third party disk management tools or utilities for
desktops that have saved your butt?
I feel we shouldn't have to recover data, because users should be saving to the network. And why try to save a power surged dirty messed up disk? But hey, the boss is a spending mood and the level 1 techs may benefit.
I use chkdsk to repair or if that doesn't work can I usually get data off the
bad drive by plunking in a boot drive. I've used File Scavenger with great
results. But that's about it. I don't believe in magic, or putting the disk in
the freezer etc...
Thanks,Joanne
