I'll second the R-Studio option. I used it against a drive that had already been rejected by a data recovery service. I only got ten gig off the drive, but that was better than nothing.

Their $80 version is fine when you have a computer that you devote to the task, and can hook the damaged disk directly up. So far, its the best tool that I've found, for general case problems. --STeve Andre'
