Doesn't sound good.. If you really need the data from it, try contacting a data recovery company.. I work in Computer Forensics, the tools u need to recover the data are as follows:-

Tableau Write Blocker
FTK Imager
DeepSpar or PC3000

However, these tools are extremely expensive.. Good Luck!

Another program which I have heard could solve this problem is spinrite, by GRC.
