I had a hard drive crash last year on my wife's PC which essentially wiped
out the partition data, and as usual she had not backed up for months.
I was able to repartition the drive to get it to be recognized by my PC, but
I could not access the data, which sounds like your problem.
I tried a lot of the data recovery software available for download and demo.
The one which I eventually purchased was "Get Data Back" by Runtime Software
<a rel="nofollow" style='text-decoration: none;' href="http://www.runtime.org." target="_blank">www.runtime.org.</a>
This software runs in Windows which was fine for me since I had put the sick
drive in my PC and wanted a Windows application.
Using the software I was able to recover over 90% of my wife's datafiles.
I hope this works for you.
