--Yikes dude... You're better off taking the drive to a data-recovery specialist if it had really important stuff on it. Let the pros deal with it.

dd-rescue is good for getting around read-errors but as far as recovering a filesystem... I've used it on CD's and individual files, but even I wouldn't try to go THAT far with it.

(Insert Obligatory !!BACKUPS!! mention here)
