Is there another rescue software ??
Firstly, copy the entire disk to another one of the same or larger
size by booting from a live distro such as sysrecuecd and using dd
(e.g. dd if=/dev/sda of=/dev/sdb).
Check out ddrescue as a replacement for dd, too. I've had luck with it
when some files were partially corrupted, but it's been years since I
used it.

ddrescue is a good alternative when there are physical problems with the
disk. However dd is adequate for data corruption cases. With Debian,
ddrescue seems to be the dd_rescue program, with the real ddrescue
available as gddrescue. Rather than getting into this long explanation,
I went for the package that is almost certainly already installed on
whatever live CD he boots from.
