Program to recover data on an unbootable drive?

My hard drive crashed on me yesterday, got some error when trying to boot up about "invalid media on drive c:" I tried all I could to get it working again but not as hard as I would have like because I figured I was ruining data with everything I tried.

So I went to the store, bought a new 60gb HD, placed that in there as a master, loaded windows on it, connected the old hard drive as a slave, attempted to open it from My Computer but got a "disk not accessible". I searched google a bit and found PowerQuest: Lost & Found. Too bad they dont even support that product anymore, it was'nt easy finding a copy of it. But I did, loaded it through DOS, it scanned that old drive and showed the files which I could recover and place on the new hard drive. Unfortunately I am not retrieve the main photoshop files of some work I have been doing the past couple of weeks, I have the gif files of all the files but I really need those photoshop files. They were shown on the program but listed as a grey color and "non recoverable". Well that entire folder and about 50 more.

Are there any other programs that is able to do this? That might be able to recover these and some other files...

I appreciate ur help in advance
