(http://fileforum.betanews.com/detail/TestDisk-for-Linux/1180970951/3) It is an open-source app that can recover corrupted disks from FAT to Linux (even swap disks). It will rebuild boot tracks and partition tables. A good friend had it recover his whole Linux disk after it had been hammered by a careless Windows install and it worked like a charm. (He had tried a number of commercial products and they all failed.) I subsequently had to recover a corrupted Windows hard drive and it also worked excellently. Even if you do not use it, it may prove a useful tool for you in the future.
