The best tools that I'm aware of for recovering data are TestDisk and PhotoRec:

If they won't work, you might be out of luck unless you want to pay one of the commercial recovery services to take a look.oz

The easiest way to get them is on the Parted Magic LiveCD.
It's a free download and quick burn to disk and comes with lots of other great utilities that are handy to have on hand.oz
