Software to repair files

Hi
I have a case where I have recovered the files and folders that I want, but they are ALL corrupted.
Checking the header with Winhex, they are not good comparing with good files.
Is there any tools/software that can correct all of these?
Thanks

Was the drive really fragmented?

The drive is OK. The client re-installed the S.O.
I tought this could be over-written files, but all of them?!? Not even 1 good file?!?!
That's weird...

W7 and Vista full formats overwrite data with 00s. Did the customer say what OS they used to format drive with?

He restored the factory image. Don't think he full formatted the drive.
