Thanks to all those who responded with suggestions. Unfortunately, after a week of several tries, the suggested tools were unable to recover anything intelligible. I sent the disk to a "data recovery service." They kept the disk for about 12 days trying their software based tools and were not meeting ............he files (from what I could recall) were there. I got the files back on a NTFS formatted disk. The cost was Rs. 12K.
