I've had good (but not always total) success recovering data off of
damaged disks, including "invalid b tree node size" errors, with
ProSoft's "Data Rescue".
It's a commercial product but available as a download an online
purchase (I think it cost me about $99USD - I consider it some of the
best money spent software wise and have it on both my Macs and on a
bootable firewire drive)
the download is a workable demo that will let you know what /should/
be recoverable and you can recover a limited number of files (1?)
but the full version is unrestricted

You'll need to be able to boot to a different disk (external or boot
your mac in to target mode and connect it to another mac)

G4 10.4
From what I have read this is not looking good, HD does not appear
on desk top but I can see it when I boot from OS X DVD Could some
one tell me if it is possible to extract the data on this HD so I
can reformat if I can? I am unable to fix the problem using disk
utilities.

Running G4 , you could boot off os9 , which has a different Utility .
Also I have 2 x 3rd party utilities . Have in thwe past found that
if Apple will not,
one of the 3rd party might do a repair.
Also try Disk Warrior , OSX version or OS9 version.
There is more than one way to " skin a cat " .
Depends how important the data is to you !
I live in Ballajura if that's any help
