You could check out parted magic, it has lots of programs to manage disks.

ext3grep, sounds like if could help.

here's a list of programs included  http://partedmagic.com/programs.html

What?  ddrescue is for getting around problems with failing hardware, not
for undeleting files on an ext2fs.  It won't help with the OP's problem
unless they've significantly changed the project's goals in the last few
years.

There are plenty of things about undeleting files on an ext2fs, but the top
Google hit is from 2002 and contains a link to an "undelete"
tool.  It might work.  If you have enough disk space, just dd the hosed disk
to a file somewhere and try whatever undelete tool you like on that file.
That way, if the tool fails miserably, you can start over with a different
tool (or different parameters) and see if that works better.
