Ok, did a little looking and found the following program:
Get Data Back.
It make some claims that I am not sure can be correct, but what the heck, it is worth a try...and if it DOES do what it promises...well then this will be just what the doctor ordered.
Info:
Quote:
GetDataBack will recover your data if the hard
drive's partition table, boot record, FAT/MTF or
root directory are lost or damaged, data was lost
due to a virus attack, the drive was formatted,
fdisk has been run, a power failure has caused a
system crash, files were lost due to a software
failure, files were accidentally deleted...
GetDataBack can even recover your data when the
drive is no longer recognized by Windows.
It can likewise be used even if all directory
information - not just the root directory- is
missing.
Advanced algorithms will make sure that all
directories and sub directories are put together as
they were, and that long file names are
reconstructed correctly.
GetDataBack is read-only, meaning the program will
never attempt to write to the drive you are about
to recover. Please make sure to read the safety
instructions...
