You should use the

Gammatech Utilities

It's payable in some computer shops or you my look in "Byte" or
other computer news for announces.

I don't had this problem but the utilities contains some hard recovery
tools. So they my help.

You should have an other disk to store the recoverd data!

An other way *may* help for HPFS drives only!:

repartition the drive *exactly* the same as it was, Format with WARP 3.0
format *without* the /L parameter. Then use chkdsk /F:3.

But this my damage some of the data. 


Tschau/Bye
