[PLUG] Tool to Recover an NTFS Partition

I have screwed up the first few sectors of an NTFS partiton using grub.  Can
anyone recommend a tool that can recover the data on the NTFS partition? I
have since reloaded windows on a second disk but windows will not recognize
the original disk as having a file system on it.  I installed the ntfs
module when booted to FC4 it recognizes the partition as being ntfs but will
not mount it because of problems with the boot sector.

Does anyone have experience recovering an NTFS file system?  Are there any
good filesystem tools available when booted to XP?
