You mentioned in the OP that it was used for Pro Tools, which makes me think it's likely formatted as HFS, or at least has one HFS partition. I just wanted to make sure you weren't trying Windows only tools on an Apple formatted drive. If it is HFS, then yes, Diskwarrior is your best bet for data recovery.
It was definitely partitioned for a MAC because when we recorded our second release, it was used to store all the files from Pro Tools (as we both state).

I'll try today to check it out when I get a chance.

Is DiskWarrior free software?
