I used Disk Warrior with great success many times in the OS9 days; not sure if they still are around under OSX.

I have also had success with "Data Rescue" from Prosoft Engineering. It doesn't 'fix' the disk, but scans the disk and copies off files it finds to a second disk (so you need another disk of equal or larger size). Takes a long time but recovered stuff from a severely damaged disk.

Hope that helps!

Livecode.tv event now ongoing! Also not what you wanted to hear i guess...

You probably dropped the partition table. I think all data should be 
recoverable with a decent recovery software, tho i haven't used any of those 
for ages. Commercial ones come from 20 bucks upwards, maybe someone can suggest 
a good one?
