Hi Neil,

TestDisk can (attempt to) restore deleted partitions, but it might not be
able to, if your NTFS metadata was located in the first 500MB. However,
another tool included in the package - PhotoRec - can recover data from
raw/damaged file-systems. Don't be fooled by the name - it can recognize
around 400 file-formats!

If you're looking for a commercial program, I've had good results with
R-Studio in the past. (Available on both Windows and Linux)

HTH
