Generally speaking, if the data was corrupted then that's what you'll
get when using consumer-level data recovery software. As you found out.
I would give a professional data recovery service a call to see what
they say. My preference is for DriveSavers (
www.drivesavers.com) but
there are others.
It will cost you nothing to call DriveSavers and get their opinion. If
they feel they can retrieve the data, then it will be expensive.
