Kroll Ontrack is a professional data recovery company. They have a couple of free (windows) software downloads available here http://www.ontrackdatarecovery.com/data-recovery-downloads/ They are local so if you really need the data and nothing is working you can contact them about more drastic possibilities as explained here http://www.ontrackdatarecovery.com/data-recovery-service-options/ We have used their services before but the larger the RAID volume (by RAID level and number of drives) the higher the cost for a max recovery.
