Again, don't write anything to that drive. Even a temp file may be overwriting valuable information. If you're going to try to recover it yourself with a program, use the drive in question as a secondary drive.

Also, be aware that these recovery programs may sometimes misdiagnose the problem and try to fix things on the disk that isn't broken. If that happens, it'll end up costing you more if you do have to use the services of an expert after all.
