1. Install Servant Salamander 2.5 RC1 to another disk (or preferably to another computer)
2. Run it (you can run Servant Salamander from another computer using your network)
3. From menu Plugins > Undelete choose the Recover Deleted Files and Directories command
4. Choose the partition

5. Find deleted files and directories
6. Use the Copy command (F5) to copy files to another disk

:!: Never try to modify (or write to) disk where the deleted files and directories have been found.
If it is the system disk, you can use the Bart's CD boot disk or remove hard disk and connect it to another computer.
Then you can safely continue in the rescue procedure.
