Depending on how bad it is you could try some of the recovery tools in
Knoppix STD or Helix.  I had a 20 gig fat 32 partition that was
corrupted by Partition Magic during a resize.  I was able to use Knoppix
STD to rebuild the file allocation table and recover the data.  Did the
same for a friend and now he thinks I walk on water. :-)
