Hi!
Try to boot from a linux livesystem. Then you have access to a lot of rescue 
tools. Dependend of the filesystem you want to rescue, you might want to choose 
the best option.

My suggestion:

For FAT/NTFS try UBCD4WIN, maybe also Hirens Boot CD.

For those and EXT2/3/4 and other linux based filesystems, I suggest live 
systems like Trinity-Rescue-Kit, Rescatux or Rescue-is-Possible. Also GRML is 
very good.

These alll content much tools for rescueing systems.

You might also want to look at DEFT-7.2 (32-bit) or DEFT-8 (64-bit).

Good luck
