Repairing damaged adobe photoshop .psd files?

[Guest]

One of my project folders got deleted in a freak accident. I won't go into it, but I recovered one of the .psd files using a commercial undelete program (Fast File Undelete from DTI Data). It didn't work (go figure) and whenever I try to open the .psd file photoshop (7.0) shows a message box that says, "There was a problem reading the layer data. Read the composite data instead?" When I click the Read Composite Data button another box shows that reads, "Could not open '[file name]' because the file is not compatible with this version of photoshop."

It seems kind of like it is very close to working, because there is even a thumbnail. I also recovered a handful of .jpg's and .tga's, which are also broke. Does anyone know of a utility that could attempt to repair a .psd, .tga or .jpg?

Sorry, I don't have any recommendations for you, but I'm in a similar boat, so I'm hoping someone jumps in.  As far as the jpgs, I've had a little bit of luck with Bridge opening jpgs that other viewers wouldn't.  I looked into programs to repair raw, extract the jpg from raw, and repair jpgs...   and so far all I find is a bunch of low budget software with few reviews and relatively high costs given how cheap the software looks.  I've had trouble finding a reliable review, but haven't had a lot of time to look into it.  I'll look around this weekend and let you know if I find anything useful.  Good luck.
