+1 on Easyrecovery. It's some kind of magic, its saved tail here several times. Seems to manage to access NTFS structures directly without going through the OS - a few instances, Windows has said a disk was blank and needed to be formatted, and Easyrecovery recovered all the data. Well, the great majority of it. Generally it was failing hardware that was causing those problems.
