Corrupt files after Partition Magic hang

OK, here's how it is:
I was going to resize my two partitions on my Raid 0 drive but after 10% Partition Magic 6 hanged and I had to restart.
Now I can see all the files and folders in Windows Explorer just like before, but when I try to view or open a file it is corrupt...
Though I can still open some files, but most of them are corrupt.
On some picture files I can only see the half picture while the other half of the picture is full of crap graphics...
I've tried GetDataBack 1.04, R-studio 2.0, Restorer2000, FinalData 1.0 but nothing seems to work. The files is still corrupted.
I'm not sure wether or not Windows Chkdsk was run after the reboot, but if it was, it writes to the disk, right? And if it did write to the disk I'm afraid that no recovery program in the world can recover these files...?
 
No comments? Hmm...
Btw, Scandisk did run for hours.
And rewrote the whole contents I guess?
Does anyone knows how Scandisk works in these cases? Why does Scandisk destroy(?) the data?
Is there any change to recover?
