Exclamation Corrupt external harddrive partition - data recovery tools?

Hi guys

I use a 300gig external hard-drive to store everything on, my images, capturing avi's while imaging, etc.

It's partitioned into two drives - a 100gig and 200gig.

Yesterday, the 200gig drive started clunking as hard drives do before they're about to die, then it died.

I do have a backup, but the backup is about 2 months old so I would lose some data if I can't recover it

When I try and access the drive it says :

"file or directory is not accessible or corrupt".

I tried running partial table doctor on it, which knew that it was broken, but wasn't able to repair it. It finally suggested I should use a data recovery solution to get the data off it.

Can anyone suggest some free (or low cost) data recovery programs to save my data?

Thanks in advance.
