Recovering a badly broken disk

Unluckily that didn't work either because beyond 65 MB all reads
give CRC errors. The data recovery shop says that except for the 
damaged first sectors, the rest were copied verbatim are were OK.

What's strange is that the in-disk backup partitions mounts fine, ls 
reports the right .tbz files with reasonable sizes but still the 
five of them only are readable up to 65 MB (their size is around 170 
MB).

Any ideas?

Thanks.
