i have used something called R-studio. Might not be the most easy tool to use but at least it works. It reads your harddrive bit for bit and outputs an image of it which is highly recommended (the caveat to this of course is that you need a drive big enough to hold the other drive...) then you can use this to find all the files you would have lost. Of course you also have to weed through partial files that you have deleted before. It costs a lot though. Just reply to this thread and my cellphone will be notified and I will log on and I might be able to *ahem* help you *ahem* ;)
