Data Recovery Program other than the normal run of the mill ones the first option I would suggest is On Tracks Easy Recovery you can look at the specs here and it's expensive but fast & reliable

A cheaper and slightly less reliable approach is to try Spin-right available here

If you are not happy with the cost or ability of either of these software packages you could try one of these

Now for the words of caution. If you are attempting to use a product that rebuilds the Partition Information you can just rebuild the affected HDD and with the last listing [b]Do Not Touch Win HEX unless you know HEX INSIDE OUT![/b] The Davory product will do exactly what you require and without the damage that you can inflict by not knowing what it is you are doing.
The other type of Recovery Software involves recovering individual Data files and these need to be saved to a different HDD to prevent overwriting any data that already exists on the HDD so remember to Write the products f this type of software to a different HDD!
Of course the above will only be of any use if the HDD is still working properly you will need to check this by running the Makers Testing Utility.
