Data Recovery

My father's boot partition got badly corrupted to the point where xp pro won't run. He bought a new hard drive and dosn't know what program to use to recover/ repair the data. He wants to use a program via the new drive to read and move the data (not including windows since obviously its not needed) to said new drive. So we we're wondering if any of you know of a program that can do this on ntfs drives (If that matters at all). It dosn't matter if it costs money. Hes willing to pay for it.

Try >>2. If it won't work, you'll have to Google for a disk recovery company. Guys working there can recover disks even if you shove them up a rhino's ass, then get the rhino into a plane flying at low height, and have it shit the disk towards a window, flying out of a plane, falling in the middle of a forest fire. They can also work (usually for much less money) on physically sound, logically damaged hard disks.
