Try googling for file scavenger ... there's a demo available on their site, but I'm not sure how functional it is, since it's a trial version.
The good thing about it is that it'll let you scan by selecting the physical drive, and not just by partition like some others do.

Scavenger doesnt seem to be compatible with Windows 98
