I have found Insert to be very useful:

In your case, gpart and foremost might be useful (both of which are included 
on the Insert disk).  foremost is quite good at recovering files but it 
doesn't recover the file names so you'll have to wade through a load of files 
to find what you want. I guess it all depends on how valuable the files are 
and how much work you're prepared to put in to retrieve them but provided the 
disk is not physically damaged, you should be able to get something back.
Also, I would definitely agree with an earlier post which recommended making 
an image of the disk.

Good luck,

James.
